Kids Say The Darndest Things: Spelling Slip-Up?

Last night we had dinner with my in-laws.  As has been the case lately, Baylor wanted to do some spelling while we ate, so he asked us to spell things (e.g., highway, elevator) and we'd ask him to spell things (e.g., jam, hill).

At one point, my husband asked Baylor how to spell "bus" and worked with him on sounding it out, though I'm pretty sure Baylor could have spelled it on his own from the get-go.  Then, after they made it through B-U-S, Bryson said, "Okay, Baylor, how do you spell "bus"?"

Baylor's reaction?

B-U-T-T

No, I have never spelled that for him.  As far as I know, no one else has either.  I'm not sure he knew what he was spelling, but he got a lot of laughs out of it.
