Words on Wednesday

So today I'm excited because The Corner on Character has been spotted by the Savvy School Counselor and she's spotlighting my blog at her blog today. Vanessa truly has the gift of encouragement; click the button to read her kind words of affirmation and appreciation.

Do you ever look a word but read it as something else?  
Maybe it's just me, but when I first read this comic, I didn't get it.

I had to ask my daughter, a TX State UIL Spelling and Vocabulary Champ, why the kid thought his parents would be suspicious.  Was it that he usually makes Fs but this time he got a D-?  If so, I'm not thinkin' it's that funny.  That's when I got the look . . . you might know it . . . the one that says, "Really, mom?" 


When she read it out loud, it made a WHOLE lot more sense. Please tell me you saw suspicious instead of auspicious, too.  I cannot be the only one whose brain plays tricks on her.  I think that's why it's SO difficult to edit my own stuff.  I'm patting myself on the back and my brain is saying, "Way to go, self, that's good stuff!" when in reality what I've just written needs to be revised and is oft-times plagued with typos and/or syntax, grammatical, or punctuation issues. 


Seriously, did anyone else see the word suspicious?
