Which Reminds Me

Yes, once again I am reminded of the time when I won the great Spelling Bee. But I probably should thank you for the little trophy, with my name engraved on it, not yours, not anyone else's, because if you had not misspelled the word "Thanksgiving," I would not have been provided with the golden opportunity of stepping forward to spell the word correctly, because by that time of the finals it was down to the two of us. Yes, I suppose that would have really stung, for a third grade boy such as yourself to be outspelled by a second grade girl. But anyway, to berate my parents for applauding goes beyond the pale, leading us to consider that those people perhaps should be categorized as swamp creatures.
