Spelling Bee

Today was the spelling bee at school. It wsn't justt fifth grade, it was fourth fifth and sixth grade. I didn't win, a girl in my class did. I got out for... Starch, s-t-a-r-t-c-h, starch. There was a fourth grader that was in till the seven round and a sixth grader that got out in the first round. Last year I got out for... Aspirin, a-s-p-r-i-n, aspirin. At the end of the spelling bee I listened to the championship words (8th grade level) thinking Wow these words are pretty easy. They were the kind of words you read in a book and just remember, words that seem long and hard but are easy when you think about it.
