Fancy Nancy



Peyton brought me two of her Fancy Nancy books the other night and wanted to read.  If you have never heard of or read Fancy Nancy, she is a girl who uses fancy words in place of ordinary ones. 

For example: "Tomorrow is ..."

"Pjamam Day!" we shout in unison.

(That's a fancy word for all together.)

As we were reading Pajama Day and The Dazzling Book Report, I decided to ask Peyton what the "fancy" words meant as they appeared in the story.  

Me: "Elegant is a fancy word for what?"

P: "Plume."

Me: "No, fancy."

P: "Not plume?  Oh.  Alright."

Me: " Dilemma is a fancy word for what?"

P: " Plume!"

Me: "It means problem."

P: "Oh alright, problem"

Me: "Select is a fancy word for what?"

P: "Pl...Pick!" (she started to say plume)

Me: "Plume is a fancy word for what?"

P: "Uh...feather!"

She likes her feathers, what can I say?
