"Not yet," Laddie answered. "But I have one about what is the sleepiest letter of the alphabet."
"What is the sleepiest letter of the alphabet?" repeated Russ. "Do you mean the letter I? That ought to be sleepy 'cause it's got an eye to shut."
"No, I don't mean I," said Laddie. "But that's a good riddle, too, isn't it? What's the sleepiest letter of the alphabet?"
"Do you know the answer?" Rose wanted to know. "This isn't like the fire riddle, is it?"
"No, I know an answer to this," Laddie said. "Can anybody else answer it?"
They all made different guesses, and Vi, as usual, asked all sort of questions, but finally no one could guess, or, if Mother and Daddy Bunker could, they didn't say so, and Laddie exclaimed:
"The sleepiest letter of the alphabet is E 'cause it's always in bed; B-E-D, bed!" and he laughed at his riddle.
"That is a pretty good one," said his mother.
"You ought to say what are the three sleepiest letters in the alphabet," declared Russ, "'cause there are three letters in bed."
"Oh, well, one is enough for a riddle," said Laddie, and I think so myself.
