Silly

This Friday will be Red Nose Day - Comic Relief. It's like Live Aid but funnier, raising money for people in need all over the world, including here. I don't think RND happens in the US, but here it's every other year, when a lot of inspired comedians, actors and presenters lead the way in doing 'something funny for money'. All over the country children go to school in their pyjamas and red curly wigs, sponsorship things happen at work, and there's a telethon. Put Red Nose Day into a search engine and see what you find.

Previously I've organised events for Comic Relief, but it's all a bit busy this year, and there are lots of other people doing things. But I went to bed yesterday thinking about silly things, like syllabub, which is a frothy pudding. Syllabus, as we all know, is a clumsy vehicle moving slowly.

OK, everyone, define 'silicone' and 'syllable'. I'll put a fiver in Comic Relief for the silliest.

If any of the children I'll be working with this week are reading this, you've got a head start.

Silicone: The plastic ice cream display in the play food bin at my Sunday school nursery. Toppings usually include toddler drool.

Syllable: The property associated with being able to be set on a window sill. Ex. Those small plants are syllable.
