Dishonorable And Dishonourable
Kid: “Mrs. [Teacher], why did I get an ‘F?’ I worked really hard on this.”
Teacher: “[Kid].” *points to work on paper* “Spell this out loud for me.”
Kid: “H-O-N-O-R.”
(Some kids start laughing because they’ve caught onto his mistake.)
Teacher: “Uh-huh and when, in all your years in Canada, have you ever spelt honour that way?”
(The kid looks down embarrassed.)
Teacher: “Isn’t it convenient that you forget how to spell JUST as we get a new American student? [American Kid], how do YOU spell honour?”
American Kid: *jumps up from chair* “HE WAS SUPPOSED TO CHECK IT BEFORE SUBMITTING IT!”
(They were both sent to the principal and suspended.)
