Context Clues Make Believe Words

My grandmother gave me a blepice when I was a baby. Everyone in my family has their own blepice. We each hang ours by our stairs at Christmas because we don't have a fireplace. My blepice is a long, red, skinny sock. My sister's is green and short.

When you play in the snow, you should wear gloves, a hat, and a margle. You need the margle to keep your neck warm. I am lucky because my grandma knitted me a margle for my birthday. It has stripes on it and it is so warm.

Emilia threw a giant grimble at me. I was not expecting it. But I found a hiding place with a good pile of snow. I ducked down and made five grimbles. When she walked by, I attacked! After she wiped the snow off her face, we both laughed and went inside to drink hot chocolate.

A holiday tradition in my family is when we decorate our Christmas tree. My mother has collected many special hambets. Her hambets are glass and very delicate. My favorite hamblet is a gold star with glitter all over it. She lets me hang it myself. My sister's favorite hamblet is a glass angel.

My favorite glingle is a girl named Leslie. I have known her since we were only 2 years old. There are a lot of reasons why she is such a good glingle. The main reason is that she is nice and she always loves to play fun things. I hope she will be my glingle forever.

On Valentine's Day, I made my mom a card with a bloggle in it. I cut the bloggle out of paper and decorated it with red glitter. At first, I did not know how to make a bloggle but then my sister showed me that you can draw one side of it on a folded piece of paper then you cut the bloggle out and then open it up. Viola! A near perfect bloggle. A perfect bloggle has symmetry on both sides.

A lot of people think it is weird that I do not like malabling. On holidays like Halloween or Valentine's Day, there is so much malabling around me, but I don't touch it. I prefer sour candy. My brother loves malabling though. One time he left a piece in his pants pocket and it melted. The worse part is, he still ate it.

Did you know I am obsessed with rocklat? I love to use it to decorate cards and projects I make. I love it because it is so sparkly and shiny. For Valentine's Day, I made a card with red and pink sparkly rocklat. After I use it, I always have little pieces of rocklat on my face! But I think it is pretty.

Today is the perfect day to go to the beach. "Don't forget the qualiwaag" said my mom. "Ugg," I grumbled. I can't stand putting qualiwag on because it always gets into my eyes and stings. My mom must have known what I was thinking because then she asked, "Putting on the qualiwag is better than a sunburn, isn't it?" She is right about that.

Last summer, Maggie learned how to garbler when she went to the beach on summer vacation with her family. She saved up enough money to pay for garblering lessons and she rented a garbler board and a wetsuit. Her teacher helped her swim out into the ocean. It took many, many tries but she finally caught a wave and was standing up on her garbler board and garblering on the ocean wave!
