This is just too cool. Jenn, I’d give you way more than a B- for effort. More like an A++++++. I absolutely love this.
Love this! So spunky and funny. Can’t decide which line is my favorite, because they’re all great, but I think the roof-Rome one.
At least you didn’t forget T is for TV. What would we do with our TV?
Sophie wants to know why “zee bra ees too tight”?!
Congratulations you know your alphabet! From the Wry One and the Mater xoxo
Did you cut your hair?
“ZED” bra. I think you meant to say “zed bra ees too tight.” Although I guess it just doesn’t have the same sort of ring to it… unless you’re Bruce Willis riding off on your seconded motorcycle with your cute foreign chick who asks who Zed is, and all you need say is response is, “Zed’s dead, baby. Zed’s dead.”
Here’s to effort, bums, and being pleasantly weird.
LOL! “…. zee bra ees too tight….. Why yes. Yes it is.
)
heee haw haw haw hee! Well done!
Hurrah!
But in my case, zee bra ees much too loose!
D is also for Delightful!
Genius. Pure genius.
Love the photo.
Oh, this is brilliant. I love ze-bra.
Sorry I haven’t commented in 17 thousand years. But I read, oh do I read.
Laughing. A lot. Wonderful!
Add some photos or illustrations and I could see this as an alphabet book
You could make it yourself on cafepress or any of those websites that print photobooks.
Crossing my fingers for W !
“O is for ogle, when I peer at me bum,”
YOU CRACK ME UP!
Awesome.
And A totally applies to my apples as well. In fact, that reminds me that there are some sitting downstairs trying to die before I have time to make them into apple crisp.
Lovely – and love the photo at the end!
AWESOME!!
Now that’s how I’d like the alphabet to be learned. Much better than my parlor trick of singing the ABCs backwards.
“U is for texting, forgive me my sins.” – I hesitate every time I type a U or an R in a TXT. It just feels wrong, like I’m cheating, or caving in to peer pressure. GAH!
