A is for... what?!?!??

The other day I found this on Facebook:


Of course I find this incredibly humorous being a relatively geeky person.  However, there's another whole reason why I find this so funny.

We did this really cool thing where before deployment, Chris recorded himself reading a bunch of books to Axton, and we can play them on the iPad while he's gone.  It's called "A Story Before Bed," and you can see the virtual book on the iPad with a little frame that has video and audio of Chris reading.  What was even better is that it was free for the military.  It turned out so well and it looks like this:


I was really excited about this book in particular... A to Z at the Earth Museum sounds so perfect.  I mean come on, what could be better??  Chris reading to his son about a science museum and teaching the ABC's even though he's so far away.  Such a cute concept.  Anyway, so Chris gets to Page 1:


That's right.  A is for Axolotl.  My guess is that Axton will be approximately 5 years old before he can even say that word, and will be another 5 years before he can spell it.  You can see Chris laughing, and I think he referred to the book as "Varsity."  Really?  Axolotl?  For a child's book?  How about butterfly conservatory??  No, not just butterfly, but butterfly conservatory.  Alas, I suppose Axton will be a little smarty pants by the time he's a toddler.
