Can you see my pimples? She asks. She has a few red marks on her face so I say "Oh, it is a rash not pimples."
Silly me. She is holding a towel over her torso and she is asking me about her nipples. I say no and she proceeds to do a crazy dance.
She explains.. I am practicing a dance. This makes people dying to have a sleepover with me; they are pleading to have a play date or a sleepover with me. People like Caroline are a non-exclusive.
What?
It means that you are almost in the club but you are not getting the thing in the club yet.
we also have the pimple/nibble/nipple malaprop here (any of those three words has meant pimple or nipple at different times), although Zoe may just have recently outgrown it. I wonder if it is a common mix up for kids? or maybe our children are delightfully unique? That crazy song and dance I have no comment on.
ReplyDeleteJ calls them nimples. I think you just have to be special like ours to name these curious (but useful!) protrusions by all but their real nomenclature.
