A week or so ago, adorable five-year-old Edith Fuller won the Oklahoma Green Country Regional Spelling Bee. The win makes Edith the youngest person to ever qualify for the big Scripps National Spelling Bee that ESPN airs over Memorial Day, and a rare Oklahoman that we can all rally behind.
Here's her winning moment:
Since her victory, Edith's story has taken over the OMG LOVE corners of the Internet. Here's a report from People:
Edith Fuller is a spelling wiz.
With a white bow in her hair, the 5-year-old correctly spelled “jnana” — her 37th word at the Oklahoma Green Country Regional Spelling Bee on Saturday — to become the youngest person ever to qualify for the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Edith is “very bright” according to her mother, Annie Fuller.
“We were amazed to find that she really has a knack for spelling and can remember words that she’s seen or heard very easily,” she told KJRH.
The 5-year-old beat 50 other contestants from across Oklahoma at Saturday night’s regional competition in Tulsa — spelling words like “croesus” and “sarsaparilla” and “baedeker,” Scripps confirms to PEOPLE.
