The Little Rascals' Spelling Bee The Little Rascals were at school one day when the teacher asks Darla, "How do you spell 'dumb'?" Darla says, "D-u-m-b, dumb." The teacher says, "Very good, now use it in a sentence." She says, "Buckwheat is dumb." "Now spell 'stupid'," the teacher says. Darla says, "S-t-u-p-i-d, stupid." The teacher says, "Very good, now use it in a sentence." Darla says, "Buckwheat is stupid." Then the teacher calls on Buckwheat and says, dictate." Buckwheat stands and says, "D-i-c-t-a-t-e, dictate." The teacher says, "Very good, now use it in a sentence." Buckwheat says, "I may be dumb, and I may be stupid, but Darla says my dictate good."
