A for And

A is for And...
Me: So I am taking on the bloggers challenge this month.  

Chief: What is the bloggers challenge?

Me: To blog each letter of the alphabet.

Chief: Hugh? You blog the alphabet?

Me: No Goober.  I have to blog a letter each day.  So that is like, 26 days?

Chief: Are you asking me how many letters are in the alphabet?

Me: I think there is 26...or is it 28?

Chief: Seriously?  You don’t know?  Why don’t we ask the English teacher, oh wait, I just did.

Me: I’m fairly confident there are 26.

The Chief glances over at Little Man who is furiously counting on his fingers.  

Little Man: 27

Me: 27?  I thought there was...hang on...(as I start counting letters on MY fingers)

Little Man: Oh wait, I counted AND..as in X, Y, AND Z...

Chief: Oh-dear-God...the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Me: Okay, so there is 26. So I have to write 26 blogs this month.  

Chief: Awesome.

So this is my first blog.  The letter A.  I am blogging about the word AND.  It isn’t counted as a letter in the alphabet.  There are only 26 letters total.  Not 27...or 28.
