One time in elementary school, I was the last person standing for the class spelling bee. I thought I had it nailed: the word was “Christmas”. I forgot to say “Capital” before “C”.
When I was a kid, we were all “entered” in the Spelling Bee. Everyone gave it a go in class. The class champ would then go against the other classes’ champs, then on up the chain.
There was a Peanuts cartoon special with Charlie Brown in a spellin bee championship. Linus gave him his blanket for good luck. But as luck would have it, Charlie Brown spelled beagle as beagel. Rats. :(

Note: Something that Charlie Brown could use a lot of when dealing with Lucy.
