No "N" in the alphabet!?!

9:30 pm and everyone is tucked and settled. Only a few things to do before baby wakes for last feeding and then my hubby and I can turn in early too. Soooo, you can understand my slight dismay upon hearing my 5 year old cry out, "MOM!" from his room. Praying it's not a bad dream resulting from the steady diet of "The Complete 1st Season of Sponge Bob - Disc 2" we reluctantly let him ingest all weekend, I poke my head through the door.
"What do you need?"
"Mom! N's not in the alphabet!"
Now mind you, I am tired. Apparently he is not. And becoming aware of the fact that N is not in the alphabet has left him incredulous and requiring immediate consolation.
"l-m-N-o-p" I say.
The look of dismay is slightly relieved, but he must put it to the test. "a-b-c-d-e...."
"Say it s-l-o-w" I say. "It's in there. l-m-N-o-p."
Wide-eyed realization sets in and assures me the day has been saved.
Shine those freshly manicured nails (thanks Melissa!) on my shoulder. Supermom has done it again.
P.S. Happy Anniversary Jon & Jackie!
