There was a fault in the fire alarm system and we all had to evacuate to the screened porch. One of the nuns recited Prinderella and the Cince to entertain us.

And there were several Anon comments and it was too easy to confuse who was who!<br /><br />I can think of several punny words. My grandmother was so clever with punny words. And one of my cousins got our grandmother's knack for the punny. She referred to a hotel chain as "Horrid Johnson" and I thought that was hilarious! One of my favorite passages was from Lord Peter Wimsey's Death in Adversiting (sp?) where he used punny words for different print ads. I cannot remember the specifics.<br /><br />Did you know that there are also punny words in Sign Language, which loses meaning in English translation?<br /><br />bib-li-o-philehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622118991020988370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-81392564881284806212017-02-25T15:33:26.092-05:002017-02-25T15:33:26.092-05:00Ha!

...Joan, that's adorable, about the blue trees. <br /><br />My grandson was obsessed with anything with wheels when he was little. They lived for nearly a year in London, when he was about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2,in a flat with a view of the trains going in and out of Victoria Station. At the time Delta was running a "Big Apple" promotion for travel between there and NYC, so the trains were painted with apples on the sides. Zak called them "apple choo-choos".<br /><br />He also called motorcycles "motocycle-lulu", and bikes "bicycle-lulu", for some reason. When I visited them there I slept in the same room with him, and he would wake up in the middle of the night and sit up in his crib just naming all his favorite wheeled objects. It was so amusing.Karen in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846039203123720312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-41160697439219637072017-02-25T14:51:19.245-05:002017-02-25T14:51:19.245-05:00I am enjoying reading all the children’s mispronun...I am enjoying reading all the children’s mispronunciations . . . our youngest daughter used to call bleu cheese salad dressing “blue trees” and one of the grandbabies used call a motorcycle a “motorcockatoo.” <br />In the “that’s way too cute” category, one of the Little Ones used to say, “I carry you” whenever he wanted to someone to pick him up . . . .<br />Joan Emersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06810313925049108163noreply@blogger.com
