"Miss Hester, what's "flied" past tense?"
"'Flied' past tense?"
"Uhhh... 'Fly'?"
"You should know it! You learned it in your verb list. Think first."
"Uhhh... 'Flew'?"
"Yup. How do you spell it?"
"I don't know."
"Did you forget what Miss Hester said before? You can't tell me, 'I don't know'."
"Uhhh... F-L-U?"
"U?"
"Uhhh... F-L-E-U?"
"E-U? There's only one vowel."
"Uhhh... F-L-E-B... F-L-E-C... F-L-E-D... F-L-E-E... F-L-E-F..." (He proceeds to go down the alphabet...)
"And which one do you think is the correct answer?"
"Uhhh... I don't know..."
"Don't say, 'I don't know'!"
"Uhhh... okay. Can you tell me the answer now?"
"F-L-E... Double-u."
*Pencil scratching away* ... F-L-E-U-U...
*blink*
