When I was Calvin’s age, I was a terrible speller too. But I at least would’ve grabbed a book or something to use as a guide to spelling a word like Australia.
I don’t see any air holes. And have you seen how the USPS handles packages. You better wrap yourself in LOTS of bubble wrap, or you will get there one huge bruise!
Isn’t it spelled “Austria?”Fun factoid: “Austria” is an Anglicization of Osterreich, meaning “eastern kingdom.” Australia comes from Latin “australis,” meaning “southern.”

“You didn’t even let her in?” What does that mean, mom? Haven’t you heard a word Calvin has been saying?

Heck, I live in Australia and have trouble spelling it at times. In my defense, I’ve only been here 9 years come March ;)

Calvin, in Australia there’d be a lot more things trying to kill you than just your babysitter.

Asking Calvin not to be silly is like asking Charlie Brown not to be wishy washy.

Misspelling the destination would undoubtedly lead to them being shipped somewhere quite different than their intended destination…

I’m pretty sure Rosalyn will pay the postage.

Calvin, tell your mom to seal the box first. Not only is it raining outside, but Rosalyn would see you.

That’s right, Calvin. Make Rosalyn angry.
