Okay... nerd alert !

So I'm plugging away on the painted wooden cubes for our friends' son, little Emmanuel. I'm making a cube for each letter of his name, with matching pictures (Elephant for E, etc...)

And I'm running out of ideas for the letter U. The HG thinks Ukulele is a bit far fetched. As is my picture of a (yellow ! *wink* at Maggie) submarine for U-Boot. And then promptly goes on with following suggestions :
C-Key (C can be said said Ut in french)
Ubuntu
USB

...

Marry an informatician, it keeps life entertaining ! :D
(before you ask, the chicken is the one trap in the whole cube series)

Unicorn, umbrella, unicycle?

Uvula or uterus if you want to influence the kid to become a doctor? :-)

I think the ones above are cute, and so is "ukulele!"

[green-martha.livejournal.com]

Thank you ! Not that happy with my ukulele design actually, but it'll work for this time. Even though the HG says he sees a guitar.

Welcome, I just added you !
I thought about Uterus but didn't find any cute way to represent it. As for Unicorn and the kind, they'd be perfect... if I wasn't doing this for a french boy ! Those words don't start with U in French...

[m-nivalis.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't realise you were doing it in French...

Best of luck!

(by the way, what's up with the chicken? My French is minimal, so I really don't get the joke there)

[green-martha.livejournal.com]

Thank you !
Chicken starts with P in French, so it doesn't really belong in there ;)

Those are SO CUTE!

[green-martha.livejournal.com]

Thank you ! I'm flattered *blushes* They'll get color too, inks if I can manage it with the wood, otherwise colored pencil, and then they'll get sealed with a non-toxic varnish.

Adorable! Underwear, urn? :)

[green-martha.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much ! I forgot urn, I could have used it... *notes it down for later*
Underwear won't work... I'm doign this in French !
