How do you spell that?

I decided to post this here and not on my own blog because I thought y'all would appreciated it more. If you don't know, right now I'm teaching a Pre-K3 class in Memphis while I eagerly await a job offer from Chicago (finally heard back from a school this week!). Yesterday, the ice cream truck came and you would have thought we brought in Hannah Montana. That ice cream man was the most popular thing to hit the preschool since.....well, I don't know. He was a big deal.

To control the over-excited young'uns, they sent us two school-aged children (mine were like 4th grade) to help out. We had to store the ice cream until the afternoon, so I put the 4th graders to work writing the children's names on their ice cream purchases. So, the older girl sits down next to one of my students and this conversation ensues:
"What's your name?"
"My name is Sky."
"How do you spell that?" (Sky has no idea....we just got that her name starts with an "S")
"A-S-S."
That poor school-aged girl looked at me with the biggest, most confused eyes I have ever seen. I just died laughing....
