The Devil Has A Spell(ing) On You

(My husband has an elderly aunt who is a nun. As her convent is far away and she can’t visit, she calls us regularly and sometimes speaks to our four-year-old daughter. She has called and is speaking to my husband.)

Husband: “I’ll put [Daughter] on now, Aunty.”

Daughter: “Hello!”

Aunt: “What have you been up to?”

Daughter: “Um…”

Husband: *encouragingly* “Tell [Aunt] what words you can spell now.”
