Even though we live in the country, we only need to drive about 2 miles on gravel road to get to our house. It's amazing how much dust and dirt 2 miles of gravel road can generate! Our van is constantly covered in a fine, tan powder that poofs off every time we slam a door and our clothes are smeared with dusty smudges when we accidentally brush against the vehicle.
Did you know that there is an official name for the dust that come from country roads? It's called "coom". Really!
Now that you know, try to work this word into a sentence this week. Here are some ideas to get you started:
"Ugh. Did you see the coom on that car? You know, they make car washes for that..."
"Quick! Roll up the windows - that cloud of coom is coming our way!"
"Mom, did you know you had coom on your, um, backside? It's been there all day."

Did you know they make a spray for the roads to hold the coom down?
I did know that. I wonder if there's an official name for it?
Coom Spray?
Coom Goo?
Coom B Gone?
Coom off of there!
