Spelling GRAY – GRAY or GREY?

I am very, very lucky in that Tee loves doing her work. Today alone, she sat for 3 hours doing her work. THREE WHOLE HOURS, LADIES & GENTLEMEN!!!!  For a four year old, that is a lifetime!!! But hey, I’m not complaining…….

She spent the first hour doing some writing because her writing is atrocious but somehow, when she is in the mood, she can write really well. Lazy bugger.

Then she also wrote the words of objects you would find in an office. Yesterday, she wrote a page on animals. AND she learnt the spelling of those animals too!!! All fourteen of them.

Then she wanted to do some maths. Look, I have no idea what drives my girl but if she wants to do maths, OK!!! So I gave her some simple subtraction to do. She completed 2 whole pages till it got more difficult (ie when it was double digits like 45 minus 38, and she had to borrow ten and cross out numbers etc). I then encouraged her to have her dinner but no, she wanted to do some MORE work. She wanted to have dinner only when Daddy got home.

So I asked her what else she wanted to do? She said she wanted to do her English workbook. Fine.

Later, she wanted to write the colours of the rainbow but just to fill up the page, I gave her a few more colours, gray included. But I wasn’t sure how to spell gray myself and mumbled ‘gray’, ‘grey’??? So I had to google it to find out what the difference was and Tee went,

“Mom!!! You mean you don’t know how to spell gray??? How can that be? I think you need to go back to little kid’s school!!!”

Smarty pants.

Anyway, the difference is…….gray is British, grey is American. Both are grammatically correct.
