Please don't be like your moma

For those of you that don't know I finally started subbing (insert YAY here). I was excited about it until I got to my first assignment today. I really hope that all the schools in the district are not like this.

Setting: 8th grade Language Arts class.


Female Student: (angrily) MISSSSS! This word is misspelled (pointing at her assignment)

(Since I'm a good Sub I walk over to the student) 


Best Sub ever: Which word?

Female Student: This one (she points to the word h o s e, and then just looks at me)

Best Sub ever: Hose? (I couldn't believe it) Yes, that is spelled correctly. 

Female Student: (confused) Oh. My MOMA always spells is H O L S E 

Best Sub ever: (stares at student) No.

She was serious. I didn't know L's are silent.
