Spelling S-A-N-T-O-R-U-M

Jen/A Buttefly Moment: Had a funny Rick Santorum moment at school today when a 2nd grader came up to me and said, “Mrs. R., I can spell Rick Santorum really fast R-I-C-K-S-A-N-T-O-R-U-M!” “Well, yes you can,” was all I could think of to say in response.

Question: I received my sixth-grade report card from my Mother last weekend, in which I received an A in spelling. I've always been a fair speller, though not Spelling Bee calibre. How about you? Good speller?
