This week, the school my kids go to is having a series of "Spirit Week" type of events. Here's a brief conversation I had about this with my youngest daughter this morning:
Rachel (R): Dad. I know why they call it "Muffins for Moms" day.
Me (M): Why?
R: Because "muffins" start with "M" and "moms" starts with "M"
M: really!
R: Yeah, and "donuts" start with "D" and "dads" starts with a "D", too!
M: That's right!
R: One of my friends thought that they should have "Krispy Kremes for Kids", but I told her that wouldn't work because "Krispy Kremes" both start with "C" and "kids" starts with a "K"
M: Actually, "Krispy Kremes" is spelled with a "K"
R: Really?
M: Yes. Sometimes businesses change the spelling of their names like that.
R: Why? Just so it will look cool?
M: I guess so!
R: Well, they shouldn't do that, it just encourages kids to learn to spell wrong.
Me (M): Why?
R: Because "muffins" start with "M" and "moms" starts with "M"
M: really!
R: Yeah, and "donuts" start with "D" and "dads" starts with a "D", too!
M: That's right!
R: One of my friends thought that they should have "Krispy Kremes for Kids", but I told her that wouldn't work because "Krispy Kremes" both start with "C" and "kids" starts with a "K"
M: Actually, "Krispy Kremes" is spelled with a "K"
R: Really?
M: Yes. Sometimes businesses change the spelling of their names like that.

R: Well, they shouldn't do that, it just encourages kids to learn to spell wrong.
Good point!
