Instead we would yell out the window "Clanga-clanga-clanga!" as we passed by runners. It was almost as fun as real cattle bells.Hannah Holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05636205979549411577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783555460519403235.post-74785547169841467722012-09-12T20:43:46.024-04:002012-09-12T20:43:46.024-04:00I love Zap!

As a fresh-off-the-boat exchange student I knew only a few phrases, one of which I cannot share on your blog, but I used them to get my ideas across, because hey, when you've gotta go YOU"VE GOT TO GO! I guess I like 'pffft', but that isn't a word per se. I do love saying 'chicka-dee-dee-dee' when I hear 'em calling! Thanks Marcie - this is fun!

I should stick a post-it to my computer: Remember The Whimsy :) I just like the word onomatopoeia (which I can never spell). I seem to have a lot of THUDs.
