Today, while home from college for the weekend, my sister started whining about how I keep using "big fancy college words" and making her feel bad. My sister is 27 and teaches elementary school. The word I used was "ludicrous." FML

You had two choices: eight or twenty-six. If you went any different, then you failed.

I don't think you're stupid for what you did. I mean, only EVERY PERSON OVER AGE 3 knows how many letters there are, but you'll learn eventually.

why did you have this argument with an 8 year old? even if you were right, there's really no point. Be the mature one and humor them, your pride can wait when it comes to little kids.

@OP, please go find a building with as many letters u think the alphabet has, and jump off it; then we can all move on to teach u about gravity

Honestly, why would you fight an eight year old on that? That stuff is fresh in their mind. It's a whole "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" thing. (Kill me for mentioning something related to Jeff Foxworthy.)
