The kids and I love naming things we see on our photo safaris. If we know what it is, we call it by it's given name. If not it is fair game. I think it started when we were all on a trail and Lizzy asked what a certain plant was called. I replied, I call it Fred. Since then, the kids and I have been making up outrageous names for plants, insects and animals that we see on our journeys. Today's example comes compliments of a trail run we did, at the brook, after the storm.
Lizzy was leaning over to take a
picture of a flower when she realized a bunch of things stuck to her
jacket. I pulled them off but a few feet later, they were back
again. These little seeds from a plant had grabbed her twice. When
we found the source, we took some pictures and started to
work out a name for it, We tried out one after the other. Runners up
were porcuplant and daffoporcudil. The winner though was, as you
guessed it, the two tasseled sleeve grabber.
