Brought to you by the letter 'Q'

This late late post is being brought to you by the letter "Q."

My daughter Keisha is in pre-Kindergarten, and today, among the many activities, they began learning about the letter Q:

After she came home, she and I went to the bank and the store and we started talking about words that begin with Q. The phrase "Quit it!" for when you want someone to stop tickling you (ah... a new phrase to use on Dad). "Queen" begins with Q. As does the sound a duck makes: "Quack." Well, that's what they say in English. It may be different in another language, for all I know.

So, tonight at dinner, Mom, Jennie, Keisha, and I talk about words with Q in them. Mom points out that we're eating Taquitos, a Mexican food. She told Keisha, "Taquito has a 'Q' in it!"

Keisha looked at it and adamantly replied, "No, it doesn't!" Then we all chuckled because we realized that Keisha was looking for the actual letter Q on her taquito.

Thus ends the post that was brought to you by the letter Q.
