Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.... Yikes!

The WORD of the MONTH:

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

Definition: It is a disease of the liver and it is very painful! (Anyone who watched Saturday Night Live last night knows that this is the correct meaning of our word of the month.


Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Lyrics

Mary Poppins:

When trying to express oneself, it's frankly quite absurd,
To leaf through lengthy lexicons to find the perfect word.
A little spontaniaty keeps conversation keen,
You need to find a way to say, precisely what you mean...

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrosicous!
If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious,

Ensemble:

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye

Mary Poppins:

When Stone Age men were chatting,
merely grunting would suffice.

Bert:

Now if they heard this word,
they might have used it once or twice!

Mrs. Corry:

I'm sure Egyptian pharoahs would have grasped it in a jiff,
Then every single pyramid would bear this hieroglyph;

Oh! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Say it and wild animals would not seem so ferocious!

Mary Poppins:

Add some further flourishes,
it's so ro-co-co-coscious!

Ensemble:

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye

Bert:

The Druids could have carved it on their mighty monoliths!

Mrs. Corry:

I'm certain the ancient Greeks would have used it in their midst!

Mary Poppins:

I'm sure the Roman Empire only entered the abyss,
Because those Latin scholars never had a word like this!

Ensemble:

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Mary Poppins:

If you say it softly the effect can be hypnoscious!

Bert:

Check your breath before you speak, in case it's halitotious!

Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye

Mary Poppins (spoken):

Of course you can say it backwards,
which is Suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus!

Michael (spoken):

She may be tricky, but she's bloody good!

Mary Poppins:

So when the cat has got your tongue,
there's no need for dismay!
Just summon up this word and then you've got a lot to say!

Bert:

Pick out those eighteen consonants and sixteen vowels as well,
And put them in an order which is very hard to spell...

OuR Mom has a fun memorry to Share:

.

Hi, this is Debber and I have a fun memory to share about Char. A long time ago Charlene and I were traveling in a car together. We had been traveling in the car all day and it was quite late in the evening and we needed something to entertain ourselves and to help regenerate our juice since we still had a ways to travel to our destination. We were tired of listening to truck drivers on the CB and we were out in the middle of "no where" and could not receive any radio air waves. We had also listened over and over to all of our music cassette tapes and were amazed that any of the tapes still worked.

.

Now because Charlene is Charlene and I am me it wasn't hard to find something to do to entertain ourselves. We decided to see how well we could impersonate (inpuppitnate) the different characters on the television show, "Sesame Street." We had a great time and found ourselves to be very entertaining (we felt a little sad that others could not be with us to glean the true joy of our talent show).

.

Our favorite character and the one we had most fun imitating was Grover from Sesame Street. We had a great time and thought of ourselves as somewhat on the kookie side, but we didn't care because we were having all sorts of fun. (We thought we were really funny and entertaining!)

.

We actually did share our new found talents with the other travelers in our caravan once we arrived at that night's destination. You know, some people just do not know talent when they see it. LOL What was important was that Char and I had a great time and truly appreciated our time together (and our newly developed gift). We had so much fun and laughed until we cried. Oh, what a fun memory. Thank you Zack and Anna for having me share a blog scrap book memory on your bloog. :-)

.

Signed,

Debber

(Zack and Anna's mom)

WeLL, ThAnk yoU "Debber" four sharing such a delightful memmory.

ShoUt of the Day: WEe wood like to shouT at the moon. Yeah, that is rite - the moon. The moon brings the nite. The moon brings the dark. The moon brings the stars. The moon brings the staR lite. The moon brings the crickets to sing their nite songs. The moon brings the moths to the street lites. The moon brings the dogS walking their poeple. The moon brings the laughter of children playing nite games. The moon brings our favorite time of play when wee go out on our front Porch and bask in the moon lite while we listen to all the wonderfull nite sounds that the moon brings to us.

.

.

TIp of tHE DAy: Enjoy life & laugh offen until your cry. LOL is greet for your health. Did you know that the trears you cry when you arr laughing and HAppyu are made up of different body chimicals that the tears that you cry when you arr sad or mad. Even a sad cry is good for your health. Just saying it like it is: It is OKAY to cry.

Borrow a Cat

Borrow a Cat

. .
Have you ever heerd of the Borrow a Cat programe? Well it is a programe that is availlable in our Gramie's neighberhod and she says that she has had great luck with the program.

~Oo. ~Oo. ~Oo.

.

This is the way the Borrow a CAt programe works: You make arrangemnets with you neighbor to borrow their cat. You put fud, water and a wonderfully "heated" warm bed in your garage. Your neighbor's cat hangs out in your garage and by doing so it keeps the mices away. It really works. Our Gramie's borrowed cat's name is Murphy. A cute tabby cat. Murphy is just a natural mouser. She is very keen at her sport. The neighbors are the Wards. Great poeple. Murphy has been sprayed too. Gramie has good responssible neighbors!!!

~Oo. ~Oo. ~Oo.

.

The WArds also have two dogs. Ginger is a Charpane and Baxter is half Charpane and half Pug. They also have two miniture goats named Joe and Chester. The WarDS use to have chickens (hens and a roster). The hens' names were Hennny Penny, Mable, Tootsie Wootsie, Gladys and Sweet Heart. The Rooster's name was Dexter. Yap, Dexter the Rooter. He was a very pround rooster. They now live somewhere else.

~Oo. ~Oo. ~Oo.

.
Did you know if you fud your cat it will be a better mouser? SOme humans have the missundersrtanding that if that DON't fud your cat that the cat will be a better hunter. Nope, not so. Some cats are naturally born hunters and if they feel content they will even be bettter hunters.

~Oo. ~Oo. ~Oo.

.

If you Google "Borrow a Cat" wee thunk you will be surprised to see all the post and articles on the subject of borrowing a cAt. It is really fun.... Also check out the weeb site on the rite side of our bloog tittled: Make a Good Mouser Out of Your Cat.

Hear, kitty kitty kitty, wee have fud and a warm bed for you.

The program tonite started out with a "Shoe and Tell" demonstration. Following the demonstration a board game was played and wee really don't understand how it is played however wee do know that there arr these wonderfull magical numbers that one must play to win.

.

There was a dinner and time set a side so everyone could share his/her collage which depicted the "umph" of each individual collage maker. Then there was time to hug and say our thanks and goodbyes with the hope of seeing each ohter again soon.

.

Tonites dinner had a Mexican theme and everything was delicious (thanks to the students). One student brought a big pot of spaghetti (must be because she is from Germany). Debber said that the spaghetti was extra yummy and she ought to know casue she is a spaghetti lover and was telling us just last nite that she sure wished she has a big pot of spaghetti) Ooooh!

A special thanks to Gaila for organizing

the greet dinner for this evening's celebration.

You did a supercalafragalistic job!

Very special worm harted thanks from teh students were given tonite to the three wonderfull teachers, Peggy, Shauna, and Ruth, who made the Turning Point experience meaningful and memorable for the students. (And that certainly was the case!)

with your hind feet when you catch one :-)

Laying on a window cell and basking in the sun

Exercising to a Richard Simmons'....

" Sweating to the Oldies" VHS

Bubble baths (if you like that sort of thing)

Humming while doodleing

Rocking your pet while singing to them

Climbing trees....

then sprawling out over the branches to snooze

Finding a special hiding place and visiting it often

Curling up on your bed with, oh I don't know,
....maybe with FIVE TO EIGHT PILLOWS!!!
Putting up a swing in your back yard and SWINGING
Decorating your place with hair balls

Laying in a hammock....

dangling your legs, arms and head

Playing with your pet (Ooooh, that is a good one!)

Swimming (dooggy paddle if you must)

Eating cookie dough....
baking what is left of the dough if any
Coloring in a coloring book....
(it is okay to color outside of the lines)

Gliding in a glider on your deck

Walking your doog

(oooh, I can't believe I just wrote that)

Staring down a gopher hole for hours

Batting and pouncing at sunbeams

Doing something special for someone...

(like buy them yarn and catnip)
Massaging your pet....
(actually proven to lower blood pressure)

Kitty Massage

The Shout oUt of the DAY: Thanks Debber! Yesterday Debber gave us (ZAck and Anna) a full body kitttty massage. Ooooh, we just love it when she doos that. She takes her time and makes sure she massages arr joints and tail too. Oh yeah, the ears - the ears arr our favorite. WEe feel like we are in kitty heaven. Wee can tell you right NOW that your pets will love it when you give them a massage. It is such a nice expression of love as well as an aid in stress relief....for both you and your pet. Check out our Amazon link to search the book HOW TO MASSAGE YOUR CAT by Alice M. Brock. It's FuNY!

...

On a more serious note for the TIP of THE DAY go to amazon.com and check out other books on "Pet CAre." Search words like, pet massage, pet care, playing with your pet, happy pets, first aid for pets, etc. Remember that us pets need a LOT of taking care of.....a lot of attention. We need more than fud and water. Much more than fud and water. If you are not sure what your pet needs talk to a veterinarian, read an animal care book, check out animal care weebsites on the Internut. Your pets will appreciate it. Parents, make caring for the family pets FUN and remember YOU set the example and this will help your family to have happy-healthy pets and happy healthy children. YYY
