Wissymint!
I can see you heading for the thesaurus as we speak but no need to. One of the joys of parenthood is that your children pronounce words incorrectly but the new word subsequently became part of Birss family common parlance....
...like scoover. The predictive text hates this but obviously if you need to put a screw in the wall you need a scoover. We even made up a song about it. Great to sing when you are three...or a father.
The one word that we never found out the meaning of was callacalo. We don't know what it means but according to Gabi it's not Cinderella!
Bethany was equally creative. In order to have a bath-ez you gave to take off your clothe-ees, words that we still use within the confines of our house.
Gabi with her 2.1 in Creative writing and her recent competition winning publication of short stories. I wonder if she will be writing a short story about a builder who uses wissymint to join bricks together!!
