There are a lot of ways to pass the time. Sometimes just good ol' plain conversation about a lot of little things is fun. Like... why isn't the letter 'Q' just called 'Kuh"? Ever time the letter 'Q' shows up in a word it's followed by the letter 'U'. So, the 'U' takes care of the "eeuuw" sound... which leaves the the 'Q' with just the 'Kuh" sound. And for that matter, why does the letter 'Q' always have to have the letter 'U' after it any way?!
