Thomas always got full marks on his spellings, and had since Reception.
He hadn’t even bothered practicing this week’s, looking at them for just long enough to decide they were easy.
When they’d been marked; disaster!
19/20 for the first time ever.
A quick scan revealed the misspelled word... ‘Complacent’.
this was inspired by a game of 'spelling bee' where i was certain that i had got the top score for the first time, only to fin that it should have been 'complaisant'. still not sure as to whether i should make that the last word in this story.
