A to Z Challenge: X is for X

This post has got nothing to do with Beckett. Even writer (blogger) fathers should take a break from their muse once in a while.

Beckett is busy oscillating perilously on the swing in the playground. She's now perfected the art of the dismount as well as the science of using her own momentum to swing without having to touch her feet on the ground.

But did you guys know that X is the most versatile letter of the alphabet? Used to convey mystery (X-Factor or in Algebra - Find X). One of only 7 letters used in the Roman numerals, can be used as a multiplication sign, is a letter word (like I), is second only to Z when it comes to least number of words starting with it, used as a multiplication sign as well as a symbol for wrong, can mean both a popular Hollywood movie franchise or a genre of porn movies when used thrice (XXX), is used as a symbol to mark a spot, is the horizontal axis in the cartesian system.

Here's to being as versatile as X and having the X-Factor.
