The Old People Files

Ho! They think they can participate in spelling bees? What's next? Soon they'll be demanding the vote and a driver's license!

I do wonder, though, about this current semi-craze for spelling bees. Did it all begin with Spellbound? They seem to be everywhere nowadays. All the more reason to be bitter that my middle school canceled its spelling bee because it was "too competitive." Hell, do they want their kids growing up soft? Do they think the Chinese and Indians are canceling their spelling bees? No! How will the children of today react when they enter the workforce unable to spell "cephalalgea?" They'll go cryin' to their mommies!
