Trudy Suffers Unusual Face Disease
New Pie Record
Trudy Suffers Unusual Face DiseaseAs our more perceptive readers may have noticed from the two pictures in today's edition showing young Trudy, Trudy Musser (youngest of the manor children) was suffering from face fixation on Thanksgiving Day in the manor. She was seen with the same expression in several photographs taken at the feast and ensuing festivities. We here at the Chronicle hope she is able to fight off this ailment quickly!
New Pie Record
The standing pie record for previous Thanksgiving feasts at the manor was broken this year when the manor family and their guests managed to produce 24 pies in addition to other desserts on Thanksgiving Day. First-time guests were amazed at all the beautiful pies which included many traditional kinds as well as more exotic kinds. We want to warn our readers: do not try to replicate this at home.
New Vocabulary Update
Two new words were heard by our secret vocabulary spy in the manor.
Thinger: an appendage attached to the hand. Syn.: Finger Ex: I have ten thingers and ten toes.
Expensable: an adjective meaning to cost a lot of money. Ex: Grandma, that was VERY expensable.
The same secret vocabulary spy also heard the following explanation:
"I know why they call them cotton balls - because cots are soft and fuzzy and so are cotton balls and they're shaped like a ball."
