Arose

We had a funny conversation with Rose at the table tonight. It was like a scene from a farce. Rose asked us how 'arose' is spelt. So I said, "a-r-o-s-e".

"No!", she says. "Not Rose. Arose."

Steve says, "Yes, it's a-r-o-s-e."

Rose: "I know rose is r-o-s-e. I'm asking about arose."

Debs: "Like Jesus arose from the dead? A-r-o-s-e."

Steve: "That's what we are spelling for you. It's the same as rose but with an a on the front."

Rose: "No, it's not. How do you spell arose?"

Time to draw a line, I think.
