My dear student, LERN, is really adorable. She has really opened up to me and I feel immensely glad when she chats freely with me and wants me to stay longer with her after our sessions so that she can talk to me.

During our most recent session on Sunday (12 July 2020), she remarked, "May is the best birthday month!"
I responded, "Why? Is it because you were born in May?" :)
She replied in a matter-of-fact manner, "May has the shortest spelling when it comes to months! Every single month has more than three letters. June and July have four letters!"
I went, "Uhuh..."
She continued, "And I can spell 'May', I cannot spell 'January' and 'February' and 'September' is hard and I cannot remember 'December'."

ME - Mind Blown + Face Palm *OMG* *TRUETHAT*
ME - Makes mental note that she has to be tested on spelling for 'Months of the Year'
