Sorry I Had Missed It

Cannot think of an adjective that starts with a Y a third grade girl says. We are on virtual, so they are at home with parents, but we speak through our individual videos. Youthful, I suggested. Another third grader corrected me. Useful starts with a U. You are correct, and I am correct, I told him. Useful does start with a U. But youthful, which is the adjective I gave her starts with a Y. Oh, he said. No apology. I heard his mother in the background. Not happy that he had incorrectly tried to correct his teacher. He was on mute, and I am sorry that I missed it. I could tell by his face it was good.
