A to Z on a Plate - P

Putting Ps on a Plate today.  The plate I picked today, was my most recent find.  I was at the Dairy Queen... well, I wasn't AT the Dairy Queen.  We were actually driving along to somewhere else, and the car in front of us had this license plate.  I couldn't take the picture from the car, as it was too far away and moving.  The picture would be too blurry - ask me how I know.  So we followed them into the Dairy Queen parking lot when they pulled in.   I then walked up to the father who was in line waiting for his order, and asked him if I could take a picture of the plate.  He was agreeable, and I turned to take the picture.  Before I did though, I asked him why he'd picked this word.  Being an avid puzzle-put-er-togetherer, I was sure I knew the answer, but asked anyway.  Instead of the answer I thought it would be, he told me it was for Autism Awareness.  Right!  Of course, that is the other piece of the puzzle.  I was glad I asked!  And guess what - April is Autism Awareness month. Perfect timing all around!

As a teacher, I had a number of children with autism over the years.  I remember them all fondly.  They were always full of surprises, and I loved working with them.  If I could start over again, I think that is where my heart lies, and I'd be a teacher of children with Autism and Asperger Syndrome.

Here are some more plates I found in my parking lot stalking expeditions.  Please feel free to post a poem in the comments.  I'll repost them on Sunday!

See you tomorrow for a plate of Q!  Oh, this one is going to be Questionable and Quixotic; the Quintessential Poem.
