Congratulations to Pete for winning the 6th grade Farmwell Station Spelling Bee on Tuesday 1/10/12. Mom, Dad, Nana, and Sam were in attendance at the event. Sam got pulled out of school to come, for which he was overjoyed since he got to miss most of Spanish class.
Pete won by correctly spelling, in succession: murmur, sequel, intercept, syringe, parody, systematic, simulcast, and annotate. Pete did not spell any words incorrectly. He was the only speller to enter Round 8, the Championship round, during which he correctly spelled annotate to win.
For those who lament all of the time Pete wastes on the computer, he would like to point out that he learned the words "parody" and "annotate" from Youtube.
Later that evening, everyone returned to the school for the awards presentation and pizza party.
At bedtime, Dad and Pete had the following conversation:
Dad: "Sam said he was very excited and proud of you for winning the Spelling Bee"
Pete: "Did he really say that?"
Dad: "Well, essentially"
Pete: "What really happened?"
Dad: "Well, when we got back to the car, I said to Sam that I was excited and very proud of Pete for winning the Spelling Bee, and he said 'Me Too' "

Apparently, Pete also gets a $50 Savings Bond for winning the Spelling Bee
