Silent P


"Did you know the word pneumonia starts with a P?" Drake asked as we sat at the table eating supper.
"It is a silent P," I explained.
"P's aren't silent," Drake argued. "Pneumonia can't start with a P. It has to be an N."
"It does start with a P," Josiah answered.
"A P?" Drake asked, incredulous.
"Yes," Josiah confirmed.
"A P? As in pop?"
"No," Josiah explained. "A P as in pterodactyl."
