Do You Eve Wonder…
Do you ever wonder where in the world your children come up with some of their words? Words that my kids use like “pud muddles” and “dishin’washin’contergent”. That stuff cracks me up.

Have you ever had your kids pull off a WISHJACK? Do you know what that is? It’s when a child maliciously blows out the candles on another child’s birthday cake. Whew, talk about causing a stir. Or maybe you need to know what a KODICK is, that’s the child who refuses to cooperate in the taking of a family photograph. And, I have one of those in my family for sure.
What about the Invisibooboo? I”m sure you know what that one is right? That’s when we put those mysterious bandaids on and we never even see the place that needs it. Or here’s a good one that applies to my family, THREEMAGEDDON which is the supposed hellfire and brimstone that would erupt should an annoyed mother reach the third digit while counting aloud to 3 to get a non-compliant child to get his act together..
"ONE !….TWOOOOOOO !!!!….. "
Eric Ruhalter is the author of a book with more of these funny words and definitions. If you would like to take a look, the name of the book is The Kid Dictionary and you can find it at that link. Go give it a whirl, see if you could add some words to it that come from your own children.
