Z is for "Zipped Up Ziti With Zucchini"

Zipped up Ziti with Zucchini! So the phrase comes from one of my children's favorite books titled

"I Stink" . My kids adore this book! They love it when Andy reads it out loud with plenty of sound effects and there tends to be a lot of hollering during the story. It's about a garbage truck and his job/all that he does but it's done in a very funny way. I was reading a review of it on Amazon.com and somebody compared the garbage truck with Oscar the Grouch. If Oscar were a garbage truck, this would be him and I have to agree. In the middle of the story is a alphabet soup of garbage....It goes something like this:

Apple Cores

Banana Peels

Candy Wrappers

Dirty Diapers

Eggshells

Fish Heads

Gobs and Gobs of Gum

Half-Eaten Hot Dogs

Icky Ice Cream Cartons

Jam Jars

Kitty Litter

Lobster Claws

Moldy Meatballs

Nasty Neckties

Orange Peels

Puppy Poo

Quail Bones

Rotten Radishes

Smelly Sneakers

Toothpaste Tubes

Ugly Underpants

Watermelon Rinds

XL T-Shirts

Year-Old Yams

and Zipped Up Ziti with Zucchini!!

The kids totally yell the alphabet soup and one time (during the summer and the windows were all open!) the neighbor lady across the street could hear my kids screaming this alphabet and I wasn't sure if she was laughing in amusement or fear. Poor gal is pregnant too! Bet she is relieved to be having a girl!!! The really scary part of this alphabet?? I only had to check the book on I, J, and M! I have most of it memorized....along with the rest of the book and it is one of those that we have multiple copies. So Yay!!! I finished the alphabet....I wasn't sure I could/would but now I will be happy to be back to just regular blogging. For the rest of this evening I need to go work on some Christmas Cards.......
