Today, dd (17) was at the table, and I was sitting here at the computer. Here is the conversation that ensued:
DD: how do you spell 'professor'?
Me: p-r-o-f-e-s-s-o-r
DD: I thought it was one 'f' and two 'ss'.
Me: that's what I said, isn't it? One 'f' and two 'ss'. My dad was a professor in his working years. I better know how to spell it!
DD: I can't remember if it's 'or' or 'ar'
Me: 'or', dd.
DD: no, Mom, in FRENCH!!
Me: you're on your own there, my high school didn't offer French!
