kududeMy sister-in-law is a reading teacher in a headstart program. She had a pair of twins in her class whose names were pronounced Ore-ruan-ja-lo and Le-maan-ja-lo. The spelling was
"Orangejello" and "Lemonjello."
That was good practice for the little boy she had, whose older brother was also in her class. She asked the older brother how to pronounce his little brother's name not wanting to make mistake on this one. "Shah-thee-ed" was the answer. The spelling was
"Shithead."
And we thought a Boy Named Sue was bad. Kudude
