 KW> Oh, back in those days when the kids weren't watching DVDs...

True... DVDs weren't even invented back then.... nor TVs(/DVD players)
for the vehicles...  :)  To this day, I still will do the alphabets,
even if I'm driving alone in the car... :)

I could do it.... ;)  at least as long as I can still sign the
vowels.... :)  Having read your message, I tried it... no problem at
all... except for figuring out whether or not to say the Y and the W
(which are sometimes vowels).... <G>   I often sign the alphabet as I do
the game in the car.... along with manual spelling out the words on
signs, just for practice... :)

 KW> ... Have you ever asked a question you weren't supposed to ask?

Of course.... :)   Occasionally it even gets answered.... <G>

ttyl        neb

.... I'm on a different cutting edge.
