Warmless Hordplay

My car radio suddenly died, and my (then) two young kids started to get bored. It was a long ride, and therefore I started a switch-the-letters word game with them.

They gave me the word “pancakes” and I answered “canpakes”.

I know it’s silly, but it worked for a good while.

Me: “Strawberry.”

Them: “Brawsterry! Now do popcorn, mom!”

I’m not going to spell out the word that came to mind.

And we decided we should count trees, cows, and tractors instead.
