Friday was spelling test day. What a way to ruin a great day! The worst form of torture was when we had to pass our spelling tests to a "neighbor" for grading. That was AWFUL. I remember being SO happy about going to high school because it meant NO MORE SPELLING TESTS!!! In school, I loved to read, and I loved words, but I freaking HATED spelling.

CATHOLIC SCHOOL speller. I think I got ya beat there. But yes, I do remember the folded piece of paper, "hot dog fold."
