Extra Benefits of Latin

Bobo, typing a chapter summary this afternoon: "How do you spell seizes?"
Me, upstairs, with baby babbling in my ear: "c-e-a-s-e-s."
Bobo: "No, seizes!"
Me: "s-q-u-e-e-z-e-s."
Bobo, frustrated: "No! I mean occupo!"
Me, laughing that Latin conquered even the noisy mayhem of afternoon assignments. Stupor Mundi!
