3 Bedroom Bungalow to Let in Crazytown: The End of the Alphabet

The End of the Alphabet

We all know the song A, B, C, D, E, F, G....

Last night I was driving back from dinner, my heart a bit heavy because of news that I had received this morning about a friend*, half paying attention to what was going on it the back seat. KiKi was singing the Alphabet Song and La was just talking, as she does. KiKi then reached the end of the song.

"Bubble you, X, Y, and Zed!!!"

I just laughed and cried a bit. It was a wonderful and bittersweet end to a miserable day.

* My Friend Jenn lost her 6 day old baby Eliza Ann to an undiagnosed heart defect. Please keep Jenn and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

That made me laugh! Kids are too cute and so innocent! My little 3 year old was watching the rain come down in buckets yesterday and she said it's like candies falling.

Kids are there to make us forgot our worries and make us laugh.

So sorry for your friend.

I don't know how people handle that kind of loss. My heart definitely goes out to her.
Will never understand the Zed - but definitely get the bubble you.

So sorry to hear about your friend. I'll keep thinking of her.

Glad your kids are being anglicised. My British kids are exposed to too much American influence here and are insisting on a zeeee at the end of the alphabet, much to my consternation and efforts to the contrary!

I love the things kids come up with to replace letters in the alphabet. Much more fun than the real letters!

Also, that's how the alphabet is supposed to end.

I'm so very sorry for your friend. How impossibly devastating to hold that little life for so short a time only to loose it. :*(
