# blogjune Words

Sean’s post reminded me of all the family word play / puntastic times we have.  Some come about due to child speak that has become standard. E.g. Fy-ens for fire engine. Others because of a habit of spoonerisms e.g. local road Don Buck road gets changed to Bon Duck road. A nearby road called Rush Creek Drive gets the treatment as well. I’ll let you change that one yourself.

Then there are things like cat names that morph into something else. Usually Mum will name a cat and everyone else in the family re-names it as their personalities emerge.Thus Simba became Pork Bun, Moustapha became Adder.

Certain personalities that we know earn themselves nicknames too. E.g. The Penguin.

My kids used to love some Watties canned ravioli they produced for babies - they called these Little pillows.
