More Word Games

WORDS....it's always words with me!

So I decided to make labels for my 4th grader's water bottles (they are using them for an activity outdoors tomorrow...end of year stuff...big fun!). I wanted to do something cool and wordy since I am a lover of words. And to be honest, I kinda wanted to WOW them. I thought I would describe each kid using alliteration with their first name. I wanted them all to be DYNAMIC DAN or MARVELOUS MAGGIE, etc. But even for me...it got pretty hard. Some names are just hard to work with. I mean what do you do with a C name? Caring Carrie? blehck!!! I thought about trying to rhyme, but that was a train wreck! And then there is the big question...what if the name has nothing to do with the kid or WORSE...what if it has EVERYTHING to do with that kid and I am inadvertently making fun of them or labelling them for life???? Oh my!

I will stop, because you know I could pepper this entire post with examples! lol

Instead, let's have fun with words. (oh goodie!!!)

So I decided to make my own "labels"---to see how they fit.

Jubilant Jami, Jovial Jami, Joyous Jami, Jolly Jami, and Jazzy Jami are all pretty much the same gal who OD'ed on prozac, right?

Judicious Jami...zzzzzZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!....Oh! what, huh?

and then there is my evil twin (I guess)

Here's the Jaded and Jealous Jami... woo hoo!
Juvenile Jami
Jumpy/Jittery Jami...ok maybe that one is me after too much coffee! lol
the ever popular Jailbird Jami and Jobless Jami

Last but not least will be JUICING JAMI, when I get my Jack LaLanne Power Juicer one of these days! tee hee!

If you are reading this, Jack. I'm your biggest fan! SEND ME A JUICER! :)

And speaking of Juicing Jack Lallane, did you know his wife's name is Elaine. No kidding. :) Talk about your names!

g'night!
