Overheard at Chez MamaT
PapaC just walked in from work. McKid met him at the door.
McKid: Guess what! Guess what! Guess what I'm gonna be for Halloween!
PapaC: For Halloween? I don't know? A Princess?
McKid: No! Guess again!
PapaC: I have no idea.
McKid: I'm gonna be..... A THING-A-MA-JIG!!!!!
(And no, I don't know how to make a thing-a-ma-jig costume.)

This reminds me that I had a book about "Thingamujigs" when I was little . . .
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0824965906/103-2522130-1032658?v=glance&n=283155&n=507846&s=books&v=glance
It's fully illustrated, too. ;)
Are those what McKid sees when she thinks of Thingamujigs?

Thank you for the link!!! I've added the book to my Amazon wish list--perhaps for McKid's Christmas stuff.
Maybe they read it at pre-school? I'll have to ask the teacher. We were completely floored by her word choice--we couldn't imagine where she had even heard the word. We don't say that around here--we have "deeley-boppers" instead of thingumajigs.
