She was a funny girl and she said very funny words. She made her friends laugh, all the time.
"Oh POOKASHEESH", she said one day as they played jumping rope games on the sidewalk.
Skip, skip, hop, hop .. don't let your pennies drop.
The word, "POOKASHEESH" made her friends look at each other and then they all started to laugh.
They laughed so much that they could not turn the skipping ropes properly any more. They started to shake and dropped the skipping ropes in a jumble around their legs.
Their legs felt like they had turned to noodles and they just couldn't stand up any longer. Next, one by one, they had all fallen to the ground. Oh no!
Ha ha, he he .. their stomachs ached, right down to their knee."What did you say"?, asked one of the girls. "Did you just say, P O O K A S H E E S H"?
