Historical Interlude…
So, my mom’s been going through my old school papers that she still has stashed in her house and found the following vocabulary/spelling test I took in the third grade, when I was eight…circa March of 1975.
Check out this list of words! Is this a document of its moment, or what?!?!
My favorite is the mix-up I made between “status” and “static”…okay, there’s gotta be a poem there somewhere, yes?
What a treasure! Do you have a filing cabinet at the ready for the Bee’s papers?

Oh, my! How lovely! It does, indeed, speak to the context of the times, very eloquently! And I do like the status/static mixup.

What a great find! And I’ve always hated that status electricity…!

The “status” definition made me laugh out loud. Priceless.

There is just too much status in our schools. You were clearly ahead of your time!

Wow! Did you have a progressive school or what! That is truly classic.

So cool!
When I first glanced at it, I thought the date was your score. I knew I had to be mistaken though, as there is NO way SBird would get a 3/75 on a test - especially a vocabulary test.

Those are some big, strong words for a kid. Cool.
