Here's a puzzling conversation I just had with my 4-year-old daughter M-, as she hit the home stretch in her quest to write out the whole alphabet.
Me (singing a portion of the song, since I couldn't bear to sing it all again for the 50th time): And the next letter is.. Q, R, S; T, U...
M-: Vee!
Me: That's right, now write that down.
M- (hesitating at the paper): Uhhhh...
Me: It's like the U, but pointy on the bottom, like this: (writing in the air)
M-: ...
Me: Remember... it's like an upside-down A, without a line across the middle?
M-: Oh! Like a V!
You may enjoy my previous M- conversations, (7YO son) D- conversations, and (wife) J- conversations.

Must be a Friday afternoon when all kids are wearing down their parents with conversations like this one! Good luck!
The mysteries of the learning process, when it all comes together.
She's right you know. No other letter is more like a V.
Oh, like half a W.
