Shoutted
4:05 am

You know what I just realised? It's a trivial matter but, on my little cousin's spelling homework that I helped him with today, one of his answers was wrong. He was doing rules for the endings '-ed' and '-ing'. One of the rules was that if it ended in a vowel then consonant, you were supposed to double the consonant (like ship>shipping).

It didn't even hit me till now, 12 hours later (yes I'm that slow) that even though the word 'Shout' followed that ending pattern, it wasn't supposed to have a doubled consonant. D: I was paying too much attention to the rule and it didn't even hit me that the word was 'shout'. I mean I saw it was 'shout' but it didn't hit me that it was that 'SHOUT', you know (you get it right? Right?). What the heck was I thinking. Apparently I wasn't.

Dag nab it. I'm never going to hear the end of it from him. *sigh* I thought it looked a bit weird. I seems I need to go back to grade 2.

Auggghh, that's going to bug me for the rest of the night. I'm going to have to call him in the morning to tell him.
