walking home from school with Miss K
Miss K "I got a thingummy today mummy"
me "pardon"
Miss K "I got a thingummy today mummy"
me "a what?"
Miss K "a thingummy"
try a different tactic. "how did you get that?"
Miss K "they told us in assembly, if you had been awarded one, or two or three thingies in a subject by your teacher for achievement then you had to go to Mr L and he would give you a thingummy. I got a pink one"
me "and what does the thingummy do?"
Miss K "you got to go to early lunch today, and tomorrow you can come in non uniform so then everyone will know you earned a thingummy"
I am very proud of Miss K, but I am guessing she didn't earn her thingummy for her vocabulary.
Hurray for thingummies. Hurray for Miss K.
ReplyDeleteOh I love it. Don't they come up with some wonderful things or thingummies. I hope she enjoys her thingummy day.
ReplyDeleteTHREE thingies! Now that's an achievement.
ReplyDeleteThingummies are rife in the Fondant household, they have lingered nearly as much as Mr Nobody...my son is 12 and everything is a thingy LOL

So lovely. Actually I say thungummie quite a bit and there I was thinking it was a sign of age! Now I feel quite uplifted. x
ReplyDeleteWell. She really did do very well indeed to get a thingummy. Is a thingummy different from a thingummibobs? We have quite a few of those in our house. Ax
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the thingummy Miss K!
