Hink Pink (in Fourth Grade)

In fourth grade, we were learning about rhyming and one of our assignments was to come up with Hink Pinks. A Hink Pink is two one-syllable words that rhyme that have a silly definition. We had an assignment to come up with some of our own. Here are mine from 3 Dec 1983:

1. Flat Hat - A hat without elevation
2. Bad Lad - A naughty boy
3. Dead Red - A deceased Communist
4. Fast Blast - A quick explosion
5. Slow Blow - A sluggish puff of air
6. Nice Ice - Diamonds
7. Bright Light - Brilliant glare
8. Small Ball - A little sphere
9. Fine Pine - A Christmas tree
10. Boob Tube - A television
11. Hot Pot - A very warm pan
12. Wet Pet - A soggy dog named Rover
13. Long Song - 99 Bottles of Pop on the Wall
14. Cool Tool - Ice pick
At the bottom of my paper I wrote:
I couldn't resist this one even thought it's not a hink pink, but a hinky pinky. Try to figure this out on your own:
What is a Chewbacca snack?





A wookie cookie.


Then later in the year the teacher gave us a Hinky Pinky assignment. So here's what I did in 6 Jan 1984:

1. Wookie Cookie - A Chewbacca snack
2. Funny Money - Counterfeit dollars
3. Kittens Mittens - Gloves for cats
