With my ABC's...

Patty: It's your painting. I was going through some
of my father's things and I found it.
You gave it to me when we were kids.

Lex: Well, I guess I thought I could romance you
with my ABC's. Early knowledge of the alphabet?

Patty:It's an insignia from when our parents would get together
with the Queens and the Teagues.

Lex: Really? I don't remember that.

Patty: That V (the one on the painting) was the symbol
for their astronomy club. You must have seen it once
and copied it.

Hi, little,
It's not really a possessive or a contraction here. It's like, "She makes her 7's funny." It's a plural. I'm never sure of the best way to do it.

I mean it's a plural, but we should use the version suggested by the dictionary.
