My secret talent

I can do something I’m pretty sure kegger can’t. I can recite all the letters of Dr. Seuss’ ABC book. I used to read it (or have it read to me) all the time as a kid. Every family I babysat for owned a copy of it. So even though I’m 25, and even though I haven’t read that book in years (the kids I babysit now are too old for Dr. Seuss. Sad.) I still know what begins with J (Jerry Jordan’s jelly jar and jam begin that way); that Vera Violet Vin is very, very, very awful on her violin; and that X is very useful if your name is Nixie Knox. It also comes in handy spelling ax and extra fox.

Seriously. Ask me any letter, and I can tell you what Dr. Seuss had to say about it. My favorite letters are P, J, and L. I don’t know why; I just like those.
