I was in an area-wide spelling bee when I was in the fifth grade. Mama was real proud of me. There was supposed to be four kids from Monahans, four from Midland and four from Pecos, in the contest. But the students from Monahans and Midland didn’t show up. There were four students in the contest and I finished fourth. I misspelled the word potato. I spelled it... t-a-t-e-r.
After the contest, my brother teased me, “You moron, there’s no ‘e’ in the word.”
