This morning, my front counter girl poked her head into the kitchen to relay a question put to her by a customer:
"How do you spell ‘dirt?’"
Which is more pathetic? The fact that this guy--on his cel phone--had to consult my counter person for this, or that she had to then ask me?
A little scary, this proof positive that there are at least three adults loose in the world who are slightly fuzzy about a first-grade vocabulary word.
…and so, the first thing that popped into my mind was, "You mean, as in ‘dumber than…?’"
