So I bought Ian a little Playdoh fun factory to help cultivate his creative genius. He really likes it but it makes a bit of a mess. I found the instructions to the fun factory quite humorous. In fact I laughed for 10 minutes straight. If you can't read them, here they are.....
1) Fill with compound.....
2) Press down.....
3) Extrude!
I've never heard the word extrude used unless it's describing some sort of open wound. But now it can be used to describe playdoh as well. And now Mike & I take the opportunity to use the word "extrude" whenever possible.

Ha! Those are hilarious instructions! I wonder if they made the playdough in China and the Chinese were the ones who translated it. We will have to ask Missy. Maybe the set will inspire Ian to be a surgeon someday. ("I don't know why, but ever since I was a child, I have loved to extrude things. I figured I could use my talents for the good of humanity.")
I just read another part on the box that says "fun to play with, but not to eat." I like that-- as if a child who is old enough to read wouldn't know that-- "Wha? Oh darn, I thought I could EAT this stuff, too!!"
Another part of the box says that "results vary depending on child's age and level of skill" and as we all know Ian is VERY skilled. Come on now, how skilled do you have to be to operate a mini fun factory!
In the feed business you "extrude" feed through a dye after you have cooked it. Yummie!
Wendy, I am fully expecting Ian to make a scale model replica of Michaelangelo's Madonna. I want a picture of it on the blog:) Of course I AM prejudice and do expect that someday he probably could-- I am sure due to his play dough experience as a child.
Nice blog!!

I have potty humor because, "extrude" brought different pictures to my mind.
I suppose it's the perfect word for that action when you think about it, but it's such a big word for a child to be doing it, no? "Ok sweety, now extrude it!"
