DOT com

Of course I know things have changed since I was a kid however I admit I was surprised when Jake, my recently-turned FOUR year old, asked me how to spell something.

Ok, the asking how to spell is not the surprising part. See, Jake wants to know how to spell EVERYTHING. "Mom, how to do you spell 'When are we going to the hospital to see Angie.'" He wants to know how to spell the WHOLE sentence and then wants to be sure he can repeat it back to you. I love his enthusiasm but it can try your patience at times.

Both Jake and his brother got journals and pencils for Christmas. You may think it is sort of crazy to get a four year old a journal but they both really love to write notes for us and let me tell you, Jake's writing is good as some 6-7 year olds.

So back to the spelling. The other day, Jake was busy writing something in his new journal. He looks up, pauses, frowns and we have this conversation:

Jake: "Mom, how do you spell DOT."
Me: "Spell what?"
Jake" "DOT."
Me: "What do mean by DOT?"
Jake: "You know...like in WWW DOT COM?"

Yep, Jake was writing a URL (www.com) and wanted to be sure to get the DOT correct. Am I old or is that just crazy?
