So, That's Where It Came From (Maybe)

The Smack Dab inspiration word of the month is WHIMSY

Great. Now what? I had nothing. 
Except one word and not even a real one: MIMSY...
As found in this.










Why could I not get the Lewis Carroll nonsense word out of my head and get on with a real idea? But wait. This was a real idea. It was, perhaps, this poem plus the nonsense words in Dr. Seuss's On Beyond Zebra that fueled my young imagination. And just maybe that led to an affinity for word play that segued into putting puzzles and such into The Gollywhopper Games. And it's entirely possible these are what led me to discover, yes, an occasional sense of whimsy. 


Jody Feldman just realized she may need to return to such works that sparked the warehouse scene in The Gollywhopper Games, the one so many kiddos refer to along with the word 'inspiraton'.
