How Do You Spell What?

"Mommy, how do you spell please?"

"Let's sound it out..."

(A few moments later...)

"Mommy, how do you spell middle?"

"What are you writing, Molly?"

"Grandpa left his shoes in the middle of the floor and I tripped on them, so I'm writing Please don't leave your shoes in the middle of the floor."

And that's exactly what you wrote.
