NEW WORD WEDNESDAY

There won't be many words
needed to explain this one.
The word basically says it all.

Do you know what 
THESE ARE?
Well, according to my youngest 
when he was little

 Those are
STUNKS!
Yes-indeedy!  That is what they are.
They STINK and they are SKUNKS
so combine those two words and 
you have 

 STUNKS!

 You will remember this is the daddy
of little CJK who has a 
WEINESS!
You can read that here-if you missed it.

 I think we should add that one to the 
new Webster's Dictionary!

 You have a great Wednesday.
And PLEASE if you see 
ANY STUNKS
DO NOT- 
I repeat-
DO NOT approach them!
And if you DO- well, let's just say-
We'll know where you've been!

    Oh lovely, I woke up at 5 am this morning to the smell of stunks...lol in every single corner of our house. Apparently the lovelies are hanging out somewhere near by, and they like to spray each morning. With the heat every single window was opened...Eau de plonk of stunk around here, hold your nose...

    When I was younger and lived in the backwoods, saw plenty. Now, mostly see on the freeway, but they still make your car stink.

    The words that our children and grandchildren invent are the best words of all! And Stunks makes perfect sense even if spellcheck doesn't approve!

    I think it fits! We had one of those stunky things come in our back yard a couple of months ago. I sure was glad to see him leave. He checked out the back yard pretty good and I was so relieved that Trudy wasn't outside.

    Oh, that is so funny, Diana. It makes sense too, but it's a tongue twister and hard to say.
    Love all the delightful words from children's past.

    My son on Fathers day told us he has a skunk in yard. He has been there year after year. Hanging around and then he disappears. I would think he mus be a pet.

    He goes from fence to fence to all the homes. He has nothing to eat or disturb. I think he is a friendly one. He never skunks. He just passes under the fences. He starts July 3rd Canadian Day. He must be living somewhere in someones place. He sure startles you. I seen him coming. I diked inside the patio door. He is pretty large.

    Stunks.... That is so funny!!

    I think they're cute, but I don't want to be sprayed by one, that's for sure. We had a dog that chased them all the time, when I was a kid. My parents should have invested in tomato juice ;)

    you have me rolling over here...
    my son used to stare intently at the armadillo statue on his Grampa's desk. Once when he was about 3... I asked him, What are you staring at?
    he said...Look, it's a turtle-rat!
    appropriately so!

    I don't think I have ever seen a "Stunk" in the wild...But, If I do I will stay clear!

    ps: thank you for your always kind words, I so appreciate it. I did pay someone to mind my booth, but even at that it was so much work....We'll see what i do next year?

    LOL! So cute! My cousin has been writing about our old neighborhood and our heritage. He committed to 30 days of June and has done an excellent job. I am going to try to join him during July. This reminded me of my grandfather. He had chicken and the skunks had been getting his chickens! He got sprayed once and my Auntie Annie buried his clothes in the backyard! Oh could I tell you some skunk stories. Come over when you have the time. LOL! LOL LOL! Hugs my friend, Anne
