Senda Friday Point #2 & #3

When we were driving to pick up a pizza, Senda started pointing out Burger joints, Taco Bells, Diners, and other such places:

"Look," Senda said pointing, "there's a  مَطْعَمْ and there's another one, and that one too..."

It could be a fancy place or an in and out to-go place.  I figured out what it was by describing it while avoiding the English word as well.

Then Senda got another point explaining that we eat the root word  طْعَمْ .

-- (Mnemonic: Truck drivers use Tom Tom navigation systems very often to find their way to truck stops and Walmart Super Centers late at night when the night owl's are out.  If there is a MaMa for Tom Tom, he found a full service, hot meal.  If Tom Tom is all alone, he just found some road side snacks or groceries.  Or, remember that you've got to feed the Tummy, or if Ma is cooking you're buying a hot sit down meal at a you-know-what).

To make these blog entries more meaningful communication as well (i+1, Krashen style)--in case all you readers don't get your Arabic speaking spouses to play the game--I'm not going to translate our new words in writing either--plus in makes it more meaningful for me too.  So here are pictures instead:

1st:  مَطْعَمْ

2nd: طْعَمْ
