Dang this cold.  I feel like there is an elephant on my chest and my throat is on fire.

Steve was helping Megan with her homework tonight (yes, her homework from last week.  We’re steller parents.)

She had to come up with two things that started with A and draw them.

Steve gave her apple.  After that we were brainstorming.  Here is our list.

Australia
Awesome
Aphrodisiac (it’s okay- she doesn’t know what it means)
Accordion (she doesn’t know what that means either)
Anteater
applesauce
ant (she didn’t want to draw a picture of her aunts)
ass

So we resorted to Google. That didn’t help. We got a bunch of pictures of and videos of apples.

What are your favorite A words?

    I thought of that one after seeing my last comment.

    Couldn’t you do an A animal like armadillo or ant or anteater or ardvark or antelope. Just a thought.

    What about archer, albatross or Amber?

    aardvark. How about Absolut, that is a vodka, I have seen LOTS of pictures for it in magazines. Antediluvian is another favorite of mine, although once more, difficult to use.

    acronym

    the first 2 “a” words that came to my mind were:
    amphitheater and astronaut, then a few names (ashley, angie), and then always. Weird.
