in my Country, We Say “Thank You”

McKay has made some good linguistic approximations recently. I sent out an email more than a year ago called “McKay’s Dictionary”. Here are the most notable entries so far for Age Three:

Elbow Cookie: the largest city in New Mexico.
furzurt: a sweet following the midday or evening meal.
heckapoper: rotor-driven VTOL aircraft.
ungella: parabolic rain avoidance tool made of cloth.

An amusing conversation from this evening:

McKay: Mom! Pucky’s bothering me!
Lorraine: Tell him not to.
McKay: Not to, Pucky!

(Thanks to Kayla, McKay’s friend Max’s mum, for supplying me with the title)
