The Correct Spelling Of Father
Watch This Guy Misspell 'Father' at a Spelling Bee for a beautiful reason.
The poem he recites:
================
Last night
I had the most interesting dream.
In it
I was six years old
in a national spelling bee.
Genius
Complex words....
Duodenum....
Serendipity.....
Floccinaucinihilipilification
Up until the final round
One word between me and victory
the spell master clears his throat
Young man your word is father
The crowd began to chatter amongst themselves
seemingly displeased
at the simplicity of this final word
I searched for those eyes
Those eyes that say
"Every things going to be ok. just do it"
I dazed off
Young man!
Your word is father
I stood up straight, licked my lips and began
Father, m-o-t-h-e-r, father...
The spell master looks at me,
Down at his flash card,
back up at me
"Sorry but you are incorrect"
I don't understand
My fathers sitting right in the audience
"Excuse me?'
"I am sorry son but you are incorrect"
Well then
you can save your sorry apologies
because you must mean "in-correct"
as in within the parameters of being right.
let me explain something to you
cuz obviously you aint grow up
where poppas are rolling stones
down the hills of women's backsides
and when he's gone
all he's left us
was alone
where minstrel men stroll around on bikes
while fathers balanced their menstrual,
2 jobs,
2 kids
and a life
on a unicycle
and it looks something like this:
breastfeeding on one arm
phone on the shoulder
cooking with the other arm
cleaning with one leg
tying sneakers with their teeth
Young fathers
who make mistakes
because we are not all perfect
but the one mistake they never make
is abandoning their seeds
You see fathers
are master gardeners
They tend to every leaf
removing the weeds
placing us in the windows of opportunity
so that we can lean towards the sun
and never forget that the sky is the limit
Planting kisses on our cheeks
hugs on our backs
growing their love on us
the best way they know how
like my father
My father, sacrificed owning nothing,
that I may have everything
My father, walked a daily nightmare
so that I may live out my dreams
My father watered me
with blood sweat and tears
so that I may be ripe
for the harvest
and I hope that one day
I can grow up to be as great a father
as she was for me
You did not ask me spell deadbeat sir...
but if you want dead beat here it is:
f-a-t-h-e-r, d-a-d, d-a-d-d-y, p-o-p
p-o-p-s, if you want the slang
You asked me to spell father
and father is,
always has been
and always will be spelled
m-o-t-h-e-r
So get your encyclopedias,
show me your flash cards
open your dictionary
cuz what webster says
means nothing around here
around here,
my father is sitting right there...
and I love her.

    The story tore me up on one hand, because I was a birth mother. But then the story really lifted me when I saw how enlightened the situation can be. So the birth mother doesn’t have to suffer, worrying who her child is with and the adopting parents know who their child came from, and these extraordinary adopting parents, are so open hearted, mature and loving. Leo will be just fine. Blessings to them all.

    Normally as an adoptee I am highly against adoption and I personally would have perfered to be aborted. However even though I would not call this normal I think it can work I think these three really love little Leo and as his sister in adoption I thank all three for loving him more than themselves and their legal rights.

    Caillie has given the best gift that no one could ever give. I know she struggled with her decision but at the end she put Leo first. Karen and Brian are wonderful humane beings to let Callie be so involved in Leo life. They're role models to baby Leo and other mom and birth parents who are considering and struggling through the same thing. I hope they're still close now and that everyone is doing great.

    I still get a very sad feeling in my stomach. It was just a money matter, isn't it? So this open adoption is still an egoïstic choice. Imagine they should support the child financially and that he would stay with his biological mum. He would have both, growing up with his biological mum and enough money to have a good life. Maybe I think like this because I live in a country where children are never given up for adoption because of lack of money.
