Spelling B

Actual conversation.  I am not making this up:

Child (who is still learning to read): That’s the letter B!  God starts with B.

Mom (who knows how to read, she thought): No, I think you mean “G.”  God starts with G.

Child: No, it doesn’t, it’s B.  I know!

Mom: “G“.  The “guh” sound [I'm not sure how you spell it, but y'all know how to make a "guh" sound.  That's what she was doing.]

Child: No, at school we learned it.  Our music teacher said: “Should old acquaintance B for God…”

Mom: slaps her forehead.  You can’t defy logic like that.
