The stupidity of this story made me chuckle.. but figure - hey let's talk about your own spelling bee stories... were you the district champ? get blown out in the first round? Do you remember what word you got knocked out on?
Back when I was a youngin' in 8th grade - I made it thru the school spelling bee, then to the county spelling bee... I was in the regional spelling bee... and thinkin' I'm hot shit... It's like the fourth or fifth round and I come up... my word is CAFETERIA... Only the person giving me the word had a pretty thick NJ accent (me being from NJ and all) and she pronounced it CAFERTERIA... And that's what I spelled... And i went down in flames...

I had the same issue... the word nephew, but the teacher pronounced it neview.
