Smiley: Hiya! And welcome to Smiley’s Fun With Words! I’m Smiley The Raccoon and I am so much better then you that I have a talk show and you don’t! In your face!
Squiggle: Smiley, we’re supposed to be kind to our listeners.
Smiley: No we aren’t. Today is National Be Mean Day, which is only celebrated by the nice.
Squiggle: Okay, I have no idea why you brought that up, but let’s go with that. The first set of words are amiable, oracle, debut, befuddle, and maze.
Smiley: The amiable oracle told us why the girl became befuddled in the maze during her debut as an actress.
Squiggle: The pleasant prophecy told us why the girl was confused in the labyrinth during her first appearance as an actor.
Smiley: Is that really the translation? I thought I said I wanted an ice cream cone...........
Squiggle: That sounds like a personal problem to me, Smiley. The next set of words are partisan, reimburse, boisterous, vagabond, and vacate.
Smiley: The partisan made sure everyone got reimbursed for their money after the boisterous vagabond forced everybody to vacate the building.
Squiggle: The translation to that unusual sentence is: The cohort made sure everyone got a refund for their money after the loud nomad forced everybody to leave the building.
Smiley: I’m just having bad luck with these sentences, I thought I said that I wanted a pony!
Squiggle: It’s called karma. It’s what you get for being mean to our listeners. The next set of words are limber, compliant, agenda, gross, and blight.
Smiley: The limber kid was compliant enough to change his agenda so he could help stop the gross problem of the blight that is attacking dandelions.
Squiggle: The nimble kid was biddable enough to change his plans so he could help stop the great problem of the mildew that is attacking dandelions.
Smiley: That sentence doesn't make any sense, why would someone want to keep dandelions safe? Dandelions are weeds.
Squiggle: I’m not the one who made up the sentence, Smiley.
Smiley: Or were you?
Squiggle: I wasn’t.
Smiley: You sure?
Squiggle: Yes, now let’s do the last sentence for the day. The words are clarity, conserve, gory, induce, and leeway.
Smiley: The teacher allowed her students to induce her to give them tons of leeway during the lessons, so she should have been able to see with perfect clarity that her test on conserving energy would soon become a gory battle.
Squiggle: The translation to that sentence is: The teacher allowed her students to persuade her to give them tons of space for mistakes during the lessons, so she should have been able to see clearly that her test on saving energy would soon become a bloody battle.
Smiley: I’m bored, can we have ice cream now?
Squiggle: No, Smiley, we cannot have ice cream. Ice cream causes cavities and then you have to go to the dentist. But we can have fresh fruit!
Smiley: I think I’ll pass.
Squiggle: Are you sure.
Smiley: Yeah. And that’s it for Smiley’s Fun With Words!
Squiggle: Bye! Remember to say please and thank-you!
Smiley: Be kind, rewind!
