Today a friend and I were discussing knife sharpening
trucks. Yeah, back before there were electric knives there was this guy who
drove through your neighborhood and moms brought out the knives to his truck
for sharpening. Not a bad way to make a living. I suppose with all those knives
maybe he got robbed once in a while…
I only knew about knife sharpening trucks ‘cause I had this
ABC Truck book when I was a kid and I’ve now passed it along to my kids. There
was a different truck for each letter of the alphabet. So yeah, apparently the
only truck they could come up with that started with “K” was the good old knife
sharpener truck. I somehow learned my consonant sounds despite having a
favorite book that used the word “Knife” to teach me the “K” sound...
I’m not complaining. I loved that book. Hey, if phonics can start with a “P”, I think
it’s OK for knife sharpener truck to start with a “K”.
