Wierd Words

When we were given the sticky notes and directions my mind went blank. I could think of a few but they were too boring, so I wrote some crazy ones down. We all then randomly picked out four off the board and I picked ones that actually fit together in some way. My words were: volumptuous, flabbergasted, minature, binoculars.

For Christmas this year Charlie was given a pair of binoculars from his parents. The next morning he woke up and ran to his window to try out his new binoculars. At first glance everything was so minature and he couldn't figure it out. His mother laughed and showed him he was looking through the wrong end. Once he looked through the right end he was flabbergasted by the voluptuous pumpkin sitting on the next door neighbors doorstep. He ran down stairs to go touch that pumpkin...

This is a really cute story and almost something I can even relate to. When I was little I too had miniature binoculars and it was always amazing to look out through them. It also reminds me of my younger cousin whom I miss so much! When she was little she could not say the work binoculars right so I would always have her try and say it and while laughing and joking with her we would try to get her to say it correctly. Also working on a boat binoculars are used all the time and just for fun cousins and me will still look through the wrong end just to be funny.
