27th Day of the Challenge

Today is the twenty seventh day of the Slice of Life Challenge. I’ll tell you about the time I got second place in the spelling bee.

It was the day of the Spelling Bee in fifth grade, the day I was really preparing for. I was flying through each round, until there were only three people left. I was up. My word was porpoise, but the way he said it, it sounded like “porpus.” I went up and said “P-O-R-P-U-S.” He said it was wrong. That was like a stab in the back because this is the competition I was really preparing for. The winner’s winning word was hexagon. I mean, how easy can it get. I still despise that day. It was a terrible feeling and you would know that if it happened to you.
