Spelling Bee

Easton gets a new set of spelling words every Monday and has a test every Friday. So far he has NEVER missed a word on any of his spelling tests. That's 8 words per week X the last 16 weeks = 128 correctly spelled words. (not that I'm keeping track)

Yesterday he asked, "What do you think my spelling words will be for next week?" Trying to be silly I answered, "You'll probably have to spell hippopotamus, ballerina and Kalamazoo."
He quickly replied, "No, I can already spell that last word." I said, "You can spell Kalamazoo?" He said,
