Interesting Wordplay
Our kids have been watching a lot of Scooby-Doo lately. My beloved rented a DVD of the first five episodes of the show from the video store a few weeks ago, and they've been into that groovy scene ever since.
This interest has manifested itself in clever word games, usually involving "Scooby speak," in which they start each word they utter with an 'r'. But even that gets a bit dull at times, so they mix it up with nonsensical rhyming words beginning with other letters.
Our daughter demonstrated for me today. She was insisting that she wanted to help me fold laundry (hooray!), but I told her we needed to clean up the kitchen from lunch first.
"Clean up the bitch-bin?" she said.
Some days, that would be a pretty good descriptor.
