Filipino Spelling Bee

June 3, 2006 by Matt

My 8th grade class was working on a project to create awards certificates, and one thing they needed to find was an appropriate Bible verse for each award they made. This spawned the following dialogue:

Jannica (from China): Mr. Klein, how do you spell Philippians?

Me: Why don't you ask Marvin (he was finished with his assignment). He'd be happy to help you.

(a few minutes later)

Me (to Jannica): Was Marvin able to help you out?

Jannica: Yeah. It's easy for him to spell it because he's Filipino.

Me: What? How does that help?

Jannica: Because, you know, Philippians/Philippines; it's almost the same thing.
