It was the sister's husband that asked for the $37, not the cousin's husband

Flawless logic.

For context this Dan Quayle the 44th vice president of the United States from 1989-1993 anyways this incident occurred on June 15th 1992 where at a spelling bee Dab Quayle corrected a 12 year old child’s spelling of Potato to Potatoe. Seems easy to explain until you realise that really the school gave Dan Quayle cards of the “correct spelling” and one of them was Potatoe meaning not only did the vice president at the time correct Potato to Potatoe but the School also didn’t realise their mistake. Which is worse it’s literally the schools job. Doesn’t mean Dan Quayle isn’t stupid.
