Tonight at dinner my wife called me a dork. The reason is unimportant (the description is often apt). She spelled it out so that the little ones wouldn’t pick up on it. Did I mention I’ve been teaching our daughter to read? She immediately started sounding out the letters. And of course we encouraged her and gave her a few hints. She shouted it out proudly when she got it. And then she laughed when she got it. That’s my little code breaker.
