She Just Gets So Excited to be Done

Jules just came home with a funny worksheet she did today in school.

The animals are holding the last letters of some word families, and then to go with the pictures on their tummies, there are lines and all you have to do is fill in the one letter that will go with the letters the animals are holding. The words you're spelling all rhyme and match the pictures.

So, ok, example:

The bear is holding "ing" and you fill in King next to the king picture, Ring next to the ring picture, and Wing next to the wing picture.

So far so good, right? The elephant is holding "an" and the words are Fan, Pan, Man.

The Monkey is holding "at" and this is where you start to see trouble, but it's understandable:
Bat, Hat, Maws.

And then the really hilarious part is the giraffe, holding "ug" and the words Jules has by the three pictures are:

Bedl
Badl
Mat

I am laughing and laughing about this.

For those of you not used to decoding first grader spelling, the words Jules wrote were Beetle, Bottle, and Mat.

And for those of you still not getting why this is so hilarious, the pictures were of Bug, Jug, and Rug.

And for the record, Jules is upstairs right now experiencing Rage Against the Machine. I suspect she's just really tired, but it's pretty funny. She started going hysterical when I said that Dawn and Serina could not come play because we've got piano lessons in an hour or so. And then Jules asked me if we could go to Dairy Queen, which I also had to Nix. And then she came back all bleary eyed and asked, couldn't we drop Eric off at piano lessons and then go to Sonic or Dairy Queen. And with this last insulting no, she couldn't handle it anymore and flew off her handle.
