Baloney



So, we read this last night and I would have to say it is my least favorite of Scieszka's works so far. It used silly-sounding words throughout which ended up being spoonerisms, foreign words and transpositions. Maura seemed to like the book and understood the story through the goobledy-gook of words.
We ended up talking about how Maura and I have both made words up. When she was a baby she called my grandma's walking cane a gonka and that's what my grandparents, our household and some other family members call it now too! When I was little I couldn't pronounce my great-grandfather Wojciechoski's name. I called him Grandpa Hucky and that stuck.
