Spelling Bee

Tonight I competed in a spelling bee for adults... No, that does not mean we had to spell R-rated words; although, that would have been funny. Hm...maybe an idea for something. No, they were normal words and it went like a regular spelling bee. We made it to round three or four. It's kind of nerve-wracking when a bunch of strangers in really expensive suits are watching you spell and hoping you'll mess up, so you'll have to forgive me if I can't be accurate.

Audience members could help you out by buying a lifeline, which would save you to go on to the next round and cost $500. Yeah, not five dollars but five hundred dollars. Remember the part about expensive suits? Most of the audience was made up of lawyers and some of the teams were lawyers. After the second pair of lawyers had been saved by a lifeline I knew we were not going to win, which helped me relax. I wasn't angry. It was a fundraiser after all, and I think my teammate and I held our own pretty well.
