We played a raucous game of Beyond Balderdash last night--we: Bekah, Jeremiah, Dinah, Caleb, and I. I love this game. I just turn my mind loose and write whatever comes out of my pen, within reason. The definition of the night last night actually came from Caleb, age 14. (I guess I shouldn't be so surprised that a 14 year-old is full of baloney!) The word was bhinjni. All of the definitions were clever. The actual definition is: a Buddhist street sweeper , I think. I was more fascinated with the made up answers. The answer that got the most votes was--An Australian term for the residue found under a toilet seat. I'm still giggling as I write this, the morning after. Way to go Caleb! (Pictured here with one of his favorite authors (Avi) at a book fair at the U of U last fall. Readers make leaders!)
