Alex and I were sitting on the couch this morning reading his “ABC of Canada” book and we got to the last page, “Zz is for Zamboni, cleaning the ice”. Not to confuse him while he’s been trying to learn his ABC’s I’ve got into the habit of pronouncing it Zee. But today when I was reading out of habit I pronounced it Zed.

Well, he looked at me and said

“No, that’s not right, it’s Zee. Zed is German, you say Zee.” I tried explaining the difference between to him but he just wouldn’t listen, today it’s Zee.
