What to bring to show and tell on 'Q' week?

[CarolynS]

I am looking for something to send to school tomorrow for show and tell for my son. It must start with a Q. He wants to do something besides quarter and queen. He says that's what everyone will have. We sent in Oreos for 'O' week.

 

[calgal]

Q-tips. Q-tips.

 

[Luanne]

How about a quilt?

Or a question mark?

 

[wackymother]

A quetzal. But it would have to be a picture of one, unless you have one lying around the house.

Oooh, ooh! A quill. From a porcupine. Or a quill pen, the kind that tickles your face when you write with it.

 

[Dave M]

How about a quart container?

Or a quill?

Or a quesadilla (Yes, I know: stinky. But good!) (Quiche fits into the same category.)

Or a famous quote?

Or a quiver (without the arrows!)?

Or a map and brief description of Quebec?

OK, not PC...

[No, not PC at all - mg.]

32 Ounces

Maybe a quart of something -- 32 fluid ounces.

How about a quiz on some school related topic of interest?

What about a group of 5 similar or identical objects -- quintuplets?

Football cards of famous quarterbacks?

From McDonalds, a Quarter Pouder.

Information about that little island in the Taiwan Strait -- Quemoy.

A fun & interesting school-related questionnaire.

Some fresh-baked biscuits -- the best known form of quick bread.

A description of that famous character from The Caine Mutiny -- Captain Queeg.

I could go on & on.

Q

my first thought was Q-tip.. quarter, quill, something quaker, quaker oaks, queen piece from chess, question (of the day), if none of these ideas or any of the above work.. look in the dictionary.

good luck..

I knew there was some reason I liked you despite the Army background, not many people don't try to pluralize the word strait!

 

[AwayWeGo]

Whoa! How Could You Tell I Was In The Army?

Army

I never realized that my 3-year hitch in the army (1965-68) had stuck with me so much -- particularly since I never advanced beyond E-5 & served my entire enlistment in MOS 02D20 (French Horn Player) with army bands in Virginia & Alaska.

What gave me away?

I bet it was your signature, kinda like talking about COMNAVHOUSE.

 

[Kay H]

I think that besides the most timeshares, tuggers have the most imagination. Some of these suggestions are great.

Holy quisling Batman, it looks like we're both striking out.

 

[swift]

Maybe something from Quiznos or Q-Zar.

 

[Luanne]

And be sure to tell us what he ended up taking.

 

[CarolynS]

Thanks for all your help. I gave him a choice of q-tip or Nestle 'quik' since that is what I had available. He picked q-tip. I liked the quarter pounder idea but since you have to put it in the show and tell box until later in the day we had to pass on that one.

 

[arlene22]

Last week was "Q" for my DD. She brought in a quilt that a friend made for her when she was born.

 

[ellend]

How about queue? Then he could talk about the differences in English English and American English, there have been plenty of posts in the past about this that you could dig out. (Not sure how you would put one in a box)

Too late, Ellen. Today was the day!

 

[ellend]

I was at the back of the queue again!!!
