Like most four year olds, Livia is learning her alphabet and beginning to read. The other day she told Jeremy she wanted something that began with the letter G. (I think it was ginger ale.)
Yesterday Livia wasn’t satisfied with her lunch; apparently, she had other things in mind for eating. I asked her what she wanted and she told me, “Something yummy.”
“Oh yeah? What?” I asked
“Something sweet…” [drawn out pause] “…and it starts with the letter CHOCOLATE!”
By the time she explained, with such a funny little grin on her face, that she wanted chocolate ice cream I was lost in laughter. Most days, and perhaps most hours, I too want something that starts with the letter chocolate.

I am in favor of starting a new alphabet to include the letter chocolate.
Also the letter Hot Tamales.

HA! Anything that starts with the letter chocolate is fine in my book.

Chocolate is not only a letter, but a food group, and a material that brings spiritual cleansing when eaten in quantity to the tolling of an Aztec bell.
