Over time this language has evolved to include a myriad of words -- "pooshnowb" being one of them. Cliff and others have taken his lead and are always looking to create new words with new meanings. As a side note, Chad now has a son to whom he is teaching this new language. We look forward to seeing how the other kindergarteners will react to this behavior.
