Mary Dinkle's eyes were the colour of 1___________ puddles.


Her birthmark, the colour of poo.
(Dogs bark)

It was 2___________ afternoon and she was bored.

Mary wished she had a 3___________ to play piggybacks (a ride on someone's back with
your arms round their neck and your legs round their waist) with.

Mary's mood ring, which she'd found in a cereal box, was 4___________ which, according to
the chart, meant she was either pensive (thinking in a quiet way, often with a serious
expression on your face),unconsciously ambitious or 5___________.

Her only friends were 'The Noblets' from her favourite 6___________.

They weren't the real ones you bought in the shops but 7___________ ones she had to make herself from shells,
gumnuts, pompoms (a small ball of wool or other material used as a decoration, especially on the top of a hat) and the
8___________ bones salvaged (to save goods from damage or destruction, especially from a ship that has sunk or
1___________been damaged or a building that has been damaged by fire or a flood) from Friday night's 9___________.

She had to make all her own 10___________, and her favourites were Shrinkies potato chip packets that she had shrunk
in the 11___________.

Mary's father, Noel Norman Dinkle,worked in a factory, attaching the 12___________ to tea bags.

At show and tell, she told the class he could get as many 13___________ tea bags as he wanted.
Her 14___________ tea bag was Earl Grey.
She loved saying "Earl Grey" and would like one day to 15___________someone called Earl Grey.

They would live in a castle in 16___________,have 9 babies, 2 ducks.....and a dog called Kevin.

Noel's hobby was to sit in his shed and 17___________ Baileys lrish Cream and stuff birds he'd found on the side of the
freeway.

Mary wished he'd spend more time with her and less with his dead friends.

She also wished she had some brothers and sisters.

Her 18___________had told her she was "an accident".


How could someone be an accident?

Grandpoppy Ralph had told her that babies were deliberate and found by dads at the bottom of their 19___________.

Grandpoppy Ralph had smelt like pickled onions and had been a member of the Frankston lce Breakers for 51 years.
Aaagh! Aaaaaghhh!
They swam in winter to feel alive.
Grandpoppy Ralph had said it made his nipples erect.
He had died the year before, aged 74, and his best mate, Ken,had recited a poem in his honour.

Born in a barn in the hills of Boronia,Ralph lived a long life,then died of 20___________.

Mary missed him and often wondered why he had drunk ammonia.
A lot of things puzzled Mary especially her mother,Vera Lorraine Dinkle.
To Mary, Vera always seemed wobbly.
