The closest I'll ever come to two entries in a row about ass

My fourth-grade student has started exclaiming "Booty!" whenever she makes a mistake or has to "go fish." (Yes, we play Go Fish with the phonics cards. Don't ask. It works.) I'm not convinced she knows what it means. But, coincidentally, she's been having trouble with the "oo" sound, possibly because it's rife with exceptions such as "good."

After one of her outbursts, I asked her how she'd spell "booty."

"B...u...aty?"

Sadly, this is close enough to be exciting. I showed her how to spell it, and circled the "oo," and told her to think of "booty" when trying to remember what the "oo" says.

Immense giggles.

"Don't tell anyone your tutor taught you how to spell 'booty,'" I said, ensuring that she'll tell everyone her tutor taught her how to spell "booty."

But I'll be damned, she remembered "oo" at the next lesson.

Now I just need some inappropriate way to get her to remember what "aw" says...
