Today’s blog post is brought to you by the letter V

Yesterday I was hanging out in the children’s section after storytime with the kiddoos. A small patron asked if I’d read her a story. She had pulled a volume of a phonics set, so we read a book about the letter V. At the end, there was a full-page spread of illustrations. Every item started with V, so we started naming them. Violin, flowers (no, violets), vegetables, etc. I asked for some more V words. This tiny patron thought for a second and said in a clear, high voice, “vagina.”

Voila.
