Not from the Urban Dictionary.

Nope, not there. These words came from a book.

Would that be an audiobook listened to on an iPod?
Whilst you listen to your audiobooks on the ever so elusive (for me!) iPod, I’m starting to learn once again through the hard copy versions that the wheels on the bus go ’round and ’round, the horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep, the little teapot is short and stout, the little star goes twinkle, twinkle, and many more fun stuff! But I think maybe I like your word of the day recaps and examples more. =)

Nah, these are from a regular book, not an audiobook. We also have CDs in the car that constantly play kids songs.
Don’t forget that the wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish, and the people on the bus go bumpity bump.
It’s not too early to teach baby genuflect, gnosis, and sanctimonious (that seems to be a popular one)! 🙂
