One day recently I found this phrase on my 10 year old granddaughter's top and commented about it, asking her how she could love New York if she had never been there. (She's been many places including internationally but never been to New York.)

At which time. . .
she informed me that 'NY' didn't have to mean New York. "Nana, NY could be anything that starts with NY!!
And . .
she continued by informing me about other things it could mean.
We were making cookies and were at the standing-around-waiting-for-them-to-bake point, when this conversation started. Anna is a list maker so after batting a few NY phrases around, she washed her hands, got out pencil and paper and started writing them all down.
The list is now on my 'this n' that' board.
NY List:
New York (but, of course)
New Years
Neat Yards
Neon Yellow
Night Yawns
No Yelling
Nifty Yo-yo's
Next Year
Nerdy Yarn

North Yellowstone (a favorite vacation spot)
Nine Yellowjackets
Nasty Yams (hum, I wonder what she could mean here :))
Nifty Yachts

No Yes (love this)
Norwegian Youngsters (what can I say, she is an only child)

And there you have it! Next time you think someone loves New York, they may secretly be checking out your yard or just love that big bright round yellow thing that sometimes appears in the daytime sky!!

I added this item just for me. It's tagged 'New York City' and I think it is one of the the prettiest photos I have ever seen!

ReplyDeleteLove the list. Great mind she has :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, 10 years old! :)
ReplyDeleteI believe my fave from the list would have to be "Night Yawns"... it just has a kind of "feel" to it. Ask her if I may write a poem and title it that, please?
I'll ask her, Aloquin. In any case :), I want to see your poem!!
DeleteWhat a creative mind - Love the lists - sounds like the makings of some great etsy treasuries!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of that! What a great idea!
DeleteSo fun! :) I know a few 'naughty Yorkies,' and that picture you found is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteSO CUTE!!! I love NY too! It is where I am from. I won't beable to be so narrow minded about what I love NY means anymore when I see it wherever I go!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this post!! How creative! "no Yelling" had me laughing . .lol Hmmm what about Not Yet? ;) great post . .thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so creative, she has a very talented mind. This would make a great children's book.
