Spell-a-thon

It's time for the spell-a-thon at school. However, Tony did not yet know this. TJ came home from school the day he got the list of words, and the instructions, and promptly went to his dad and asked, "How much will you pay me to learn these words?" Well, Tony of course was shocked and replied that he wouldn't pay him anything. He needed to just learn them. TJ was crushed and cried that they wouldn't get new monkey bars then!!! Tony was confused, of course. And as the two talked further, Tony uncovered the reason for the request to pay him for learning those words.

I had a good laugh when Tony told me the story, when I got home from work. So, we will be helping TJ to get new monkey bars for the school. He's definitely helped to wear them out!
