We were working with misnomers, something with a name that doesn't fit it, and here are some the ones the kids came up with. Spark really got into this activity and a lot of them are his ideas. - Football - not played with feet, we thought tackleball would be a better fit
- Egg plant - doesn't come from an egg, doesn't look like an egg
- Star fish - not a fish
- Clown fish - got the fish part right but where's the clown
- wagon - nothing wags on it
- flea market - that would be called a dog
- shooting stars
- peanut butter - not butter
- firefly - they are really beetles
- kitchen counter - doesn't count anything
- computer mouse - a no, our mouse doesn't even have a tail
- killdeer - a bird and they are are too little to kill a deer
- hog wash - what a grandparent says and they aren't washing a hog when they say it
- funny bone - yeah right, there is not laughing when that baby gets banged
- Beanie Babies - they have plastic beads in them not beans
- pigtails - whoever looked at a hair style on a cute little girl and thought it looked like a pig tail?
So as Glenn Beck puts it, "say what you mean and mean what you say"
