Ma-lak was so excited to win his school spelling bee with the winning word "poultry". (Ni'ke was so disappointed because she was sick the day her class held theirs and she was unable to compete in the school one.) So we all went to support Ma-lak in our local district Spelling Bee. The nerves got to him - he went out in the first round, misspelling a simple word that he knew - and I can't remember what it is at the moment! I hated to see him so upset and disappointed, but Ni'ke was quick to comfort him by saying, "That's ok, next year we'll both be in it and you can try not to lose against ME."
