Q is for quail. California quail, specifically. Those are the kind that have feathers sticking out of the tops of their heads. We only had brightly coloured feathers, so she insisted on dulling a yellow one down with brown marker so that it would look more like the pictures we found online. This was a contentious letter. There were disagreements and there was angry scribbling as a result. Enthusiasm for the project is at a low, but maybe it was just a bad day. We’ve both agreed to have better attitudes next time we sit down together to do an animal alphabet. We’ve got nine letters left to go and it would be a shame to give up now.
Q is also for queen, quick and quitters-never-win.
