NEW WORD WEDNESDAY-A Celestial Revelation!

Our sweet little Ria
had the most whispery little voice 
when she was small.
It was always fun to listen to that little 
voice.
One day we were sitting out back
by the bay
and a plane went overhead.
She looked up and said
Look- I'ts s 
SKYSCRATCH!

What?
A SKYSCRATCH!

That airplane up there 
scratched the sky.
It's a SKYSCRATCH!
And here, all this time,
 you thought it was a 
JET TRAIL  or CONTRAIL
caused by hot air 
mixed with atmospheric conditions.
YOU were/are WRONG. 
All that blue actually has 
white scratches on it.

Your challenge THIS WEEK is to say
SKYSCRATCH
ten times in a row.
It is a REAL tongue twister!
Try it!!!  It is harder than you think!
You just tried it, didn't you?
snicker

Have a great day!

    What a smart kiddo! I remember when one of my kids called it a contrail for the first time. I had never even heard of the word and I was pretty impressed (not to mention feeling pretty stupid:). And nope, can't say it.

    Yes! I tried it. And I succeeded. And - I like that word. How do you submit it to a dictionary? I think those lines behind the planes should be called skyscratches. It sounds about right to me!

    I have often wondered if those "skyscratches" actually control our weather. You see so many of them, zig zagging across the skies. Oh well, that is just me. I like that word and yesssss I tried saying "skyscratcher" 10+ times. I think by the 10th time I wondered if I even was saying "sky" right...hahahaha!!

    I like her description best! LOL and yes, I can say it 10 times ;-) Of course, I normally talk a mile a minute (according to my sweet hubby) so it was fairly easy.

    A little offtopic, but I've met a few people who believe in the conspiracy theory known as chem trails. One guy told me the "elite" are trying to "thin the herds" and they'll be safe because they drink special water and healthy foods.

    I wanted to make him a tin foil hat.

    I remember my son when little pointed to the sky and said, "Look mommy, you can see the airplanes fart!" I laughed and told him it was a contrail. He looked at me quizzically and said, "Mom, that's a plane so it would be a plane trail."

    That Ria is such a cutie. I thought it was her smile, but maybe it's the eyes too. All I know is that she has the sweetest look. And what a fun word for today. I can see why she called it a skyscratch hehehe.

    I tried to do the tongue twister and when thighscratch came out, I stopped... heehee! Too funny Diana, I will never look at those chem, ahem... jet trails again without thinking about the sky being scratched, lol... Always enjoy your new word Wednesday :)

  42. ShirleyJune 3, 2015 at 11:28 PM

    I never thought about the new word, but it definitely would work. Of course, you never know what kids will say for sure. They are just growing up entirely to fast. We want to keep them little as long as possible. Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend shirley

    How cute! I think skyscratch sounds better than contrails. Yep, I tried it 10 times and nearly made it, but it finally came out "sky catch". lol!
