Marcy qualified for this year's school spelling bee - and was ready to storm the competition! After spelling some words correctly, she was given the word 'blooper' - but thought the moderator had said 'bluebird'! She spelled perfectly - b-l-u-e-b-i-r-d - but was eliminated. Apparently, you have to spell the correct word correctly, not just any old word correctly . . . She was a little disappointed - but likes to remember that she didn't, after all, misspell anything!Tuesday, March 13, 2012

Is blooper even a real word? I think it is slang. I am with you Marcy...it should have been BLUEBIRD.
