eavesdropped: spelling bee
A grade school kid and her somewhat gay male nanny were reviewing for a spelling bee. Everyone on the bus could hear them. Only funny things can ever come out of this:
Gay Male Nanny: “Courageous”
Kid: “C-o-u-r-a-g-e-o-u-s”
Gay Male Nanny: “Gourmet”
Kid: “G-o-u-r-m-e-t”
Gay Male Nanny: “Aisle”
Kid: “A-i-s-l-e”
Gay Male Nanny: “Queet”
Kid: (puzzled) “Queet?”
Gay Male Nanny: “Ay, quiet pala… ay hindi, quite. Quite.”
Kid: “Q-u-i-t-e”
I try as hard as I can to keep a straight face. No go. I laugh through my nose in short bursts. That day I was late for work. But it’s ok. I didn’t mind.
