National Spelling Bee finals tonight

The Scripps National Spelling Bee -- that rare educational event that also makes for great drama -- concludes tonight, with finals to be broadcast at 8 p.m. on ABC.

If you'd like to take advantage of your child's (and your) interest in the Bee, take this fun quiz, which is the next best thing to being there (you get audio pronunciations for the words, along with some etymological clues).

Though I did well on the test, I wouldn't have quite made it to the quarter finals (sniff). I need to study harder.
