Learning Ek

Ek has taught us something that, honestly, I would have been fine not knowing. J was laughing and saying if she is already teaching us this much in first grade what will we be doing when she gets older! Mom, brace yourself as you read this. The letter "C" precedes the letters a, o, and u. The letter "K" precedes the letters e and i. So this means. That all these years. My mother. Grandmother. Myself. and now I am passing on to my own daughter. A name. That is spelled. Wrong. I. am. devastated. And I will state here that I love my name. I love my spelling. Its the Scottish way, you know. And I am very proud of my lineage. Especially my Katharine lineage. I have no, I repeat no intention of a correction, no matter what first grade phonics say. And I will mention this no more. Its like the Father's forgiveness, this memory will be as far away as the east is from the west. Except when I am helping my daughter read. and write. and spell. But not her name, no ma'am. She will continue to misspell it. lol.
