Has anyone here read a kids’ book called “Frindle?” You could read it in an evening, but it’s a great book. Kid decides to call a “pen” a “frindle.” Strict teacher won’t accept it, because it’s not in the dictionary. The use of the word snowballs anyway (ha ha) until the kid makes national news.
I won’t spoil the ending for anyone who might want to read it. It’s a fun book. The author has written several more, but this one’s been around awhile, cause I did a read aloud with our own two boys who are now 20 and 23.
This whole business kinda reminds me of the book.
Apparently this inspired kids somewhere to start saying “Meep” all the time which resulted in a school changing their school rules banning “meep” from being said in school and many kids were suspended. Heard about this on the radio one morning.
He said Meep meep as he dropped his frindle into the craphas!
