Wacky Wednesday!

 Stuff that just has a silly name!
Pajaggle. Pah-jag-gull
Is it a game? A puzzle? 
Is it a bird that lives in it's PJ's by the sea?
 ZOOINK! 
I think this can be used in almost every sentence everyday!
Hey! Is that a zooink by 
your foot?
Did I hear you say that there's a zooink Saturday night?
 This could be the start of some kinda rhyme...
Itza ink a doo tattoo,
The kind that makes you blue!
They're all in a package shiny & new!
Waiting to make some art on you!


Tiddlywinks!
That's probably the funnest word
in the world to say!
Maybe second to cous-cous!

Did ya know?

The jokes on you!
Sneezing powder, the dribble glass, the joy buzzer, the snake in a jam jar — all were invented or developed, manufactured and marketed by Samuel Sorenson Adams.
He launched S.S. Adams Co. in 1906 with Kachoo Sneeze Powder made with something he discovered while working at a factory where workers were sneezing and sneezing and sneezing all day long! I wish I could have met Samuel.
Did you know Tiddlywinks gained popularity in the 1890's with adults and kids alike? I just like to say "Tiddlywinks" and used to play when I was a  kid (shortly after 1890). There are now official Tiddlywink societies, Tiddlywinks is a competitive college sport, and the name of a move in the game is called a Squop. It's just a fun tabletop game where you get to say a lot of funny words!
