*****

Onomatopoeias in my soup

Plunk, plunk, scoop, scoop

 

Onomatopoeias in my beer

Glug, glug, glug I hear

 

Onomatopoeias in my leg hair

Scree, scree, ouch, I need Nair

 

Onomatopoeias everywhere

Arggghhh, pow, get out of there.

My 5'4" sister used to call me her little brother (I'm 2 years younger).

And probably taller.

"Would you like a bite of my allosaurus sandwich, Pam Pam?"
(Barney Rubble's niece couldn't pronounce her "B's".)
Pam Brittain May 20, 2012, 4:46pm UTC
Barmadillo?
JOHN BECK May 20, 2012, 4:52pm UTC
She'd have said, "parmadillo".
Pam Brittain May 20, 2012, 5:00pm UTC
Maybe that's what Tanya calls her armadillo pudding.
Tanya P. May 20, 2012, 5:40pm UTC
Pudding?! I think not. Barbecue, though.....

Pam Brittain, remind me not to read anymore of your post with a full bladder! Extreme laughter is not recommended in that situation!
