And the letter is...

Emma is really intrigued by the composition of words lately. At any given moment she will declare "Radio starts with the letter R" or "Giraffe starts with the letter G" or "Penguin starts with the letter P." Occasionally she gets rightly confused (i.e., "Jacket starts with the letter G"), which launches us into a dizzying discussion about the bizarreness of the English language. But most of the time she's right on the money.

Today we were walking back from the library and Emma asked for a Kleenex. Unfortunately, I didn't have one. So she wiped her nose with her sleeve and said, "Booger starts with the letter B!"

What can I say? As usual, she's right.
