Just too funny!
(AP) “Kennyi Aouad, 11, of Terre Haute, Ind., became a crowd favorite after he couldn’t stop laughing when he was given the funky-sounding word “Sardoodledom” (a melodramatic plot). He finally composed himself and asked all sorts of questions about the word — definition, part of speech, alternate pronunciations, use in a sentence — then tried to get an unallowable hint by asking: “Is it kind of like kingdom?” He could hardly believe it when he spelled the word correctly.” (source)

I love this picture. I love the fact that Kennyi, even in the heat of competition, can be tickled by the sound of a funny word. I have his picture on my refrigerator and it makes me smile everytime I see him. Nicely done, Kennyi.

Kennyi was a student in my fifth grade class, and this is totally true to form. When he finds humor in something, he doesn’t try to hide it. He was a wonderful student, but an even better person.
