A sixth grade class is doing some spelling drills. The teacher asks Tommy if he can spell ‘before.’ He stands up and says, “Before, B-E-P-H-O-R.”
The teacher says, “No, that’s wrong. Can anyone else spell before?”
Another little boy stands up and says, “Before, B-E-F-O-O-R.”
Again the teacher says, “No, that’s wrong.” The teacher says, “Leroy, can you spell ‘before’?”
Leroy stands up and says, “Before, B-E-F-O-R-E.”
“Excellent Leroy, now can you use it in a sentence?”
Leroy says, “Dat’s easy. Two plus two be fore.”
