I couldn't resist putting up a few more photos from my trip. While in Grand Rapids, I visited the Public Museum, which had made an alphabet scavenger hunt for children out of some of their exhibits.
So, for example, H was a collection of hats from different countries and eras. And K was...
Apparently, they couldn't find any kites, kangaroos, or kumquats.
And here's the sign in front of the exhibit, in case you didn't think they were serious.
I guess I would have been less surprised by "W is for Weapons." After all, when I was young, I was fascinated by our DK book on weapons and armor.
But "K is for Knives and Guns"... that really sounds like something out of a cruder version of an Edward Gorey alphabet, doesn't it? Or a deranged sort of Sesame Street: "Today's murder was brought to you by the number 13 and the letter K!"
Definitely! But there goes any hopes you might have had of writing for Sesame Street!

but "K" is for King... and that is a grand thing in many ways! :)
