HELLO friends and welcome to our weekly kids chat.

Windy: Guess what? I was surfing through the Net and I came across a site by your name.

Cliparti: Whose name? Mine?

Windy: No, his.

Fluppy: Wow! You searched a site by my name? That is really so nice of you, Windy.

Windy: Well, thanks.

Fluppy: Tell me more about it, what all does it have? I hope it’s a fun site and not a boring one.

Windy: You bet it is! It has loads of online games, offline games, an improved chat room and lots more. You can also have your own homepage or send contributions. You can download games and join its community. This site also gives awards and you can always apply for it. You can also have your separate e-mail id. It would go as follows- your name@crazybone.com. So howz all that for a site?

Fluppy: Cool man, cool! Now I can boast of this site in front of my friends and fool them by telling that it is my own site. By the way how does its full address go? I am sure it must be something like Fluppy.com. Is it?

Windy: No, it is by your other name.

Fluppy: Other name? But I don’t have any other name.

Windy: It is by the name, the world knows you so well.

Fluppy: First of all I don’t have any other name and secondly I don’t think any body apart from my friends, relatives, neighbours and a few of my school people know me.

Windy: No, no Fluppy. You are not aware that you are so famous and that too by your second name. That is really modest of you I must say.

Fluppy: Well okay, I agree to it if you say so. But please tell me the name of the site.

Windy: Fine. It is www.crazybone.com/

Fluppy: How dare you? How rude of you to say so. Something as mean could only have been expected from you. I should have known.

Cliparti: Windy, that was really not a nice thing to do.

Windy: But it’s all fun, guys. Actually when I came across this site I couldn’t help thinking of Fluppy. And just as a mere mention of a name reminds you of the person, this site reminded me of Fluppy.

Cliparti: That could have been because it has so many games and fun things, that we all know Fluppy loves.

Windy: Well that could be one of the reasons. But I thought it had something to do with the name of the site. Anyhow, I could be wrong.

Cliparti: Well you do by saying sorry to Fluppy.

Windy: What do you mean by sorry?

Fluppy: Now he does not even know the meaning of sorry!

Windy: Of course, I know what sorry means. But I also know, that there is no sorry and thank you’s among friends. And there is nothing wrong if you joke with your friends. Am I wrong now?

Cliparti: Well, but you have hurt him.

Windy: I don’t think so. Moreover Fluppy is not a cranky little female to get upset by such meagre thing as this. Or are you, Fluppy?

Fluppy: No, no of course not!

Windy: See, what did I tell you? I know Fluppy so well.

Cliparti: And I know you too well. Anyways you should at least compensate for whatever bad he could have felt.

Windy: What do you want me to do? Buy him an ice-cream?

Fluppy: No, tell me of some real great game site.

Windy: Is that all you can think of?

Cliparti: Windy, do as he says.

Windy: Okay, you two really give me a hard time when you get on to one side!

Fluppy: Hee, hee!

Windy: Hmmm, let me think. Okay, got it! At www.funattic.com/game-list.htm you will come across the stuff you are looking for. Fun attic has the great game list just for you. You can select a category from a wide choice ranging from Ball games, Card & Dice game, Carnival game, Circle game, Fling sock game, Ice-breaker game, learning game, Relay game, Skill game, Tag game, Water game and miscellaneous games. You will get various ideas like fun family ideas, baby shower ideas, classroom ideas pre-school activity ides all from this site. What’s more, it also features the game of the month, so you know that the site is regularly revised and new attractions are added to it. So howz that for a compensation?

Cliparti: Not bad, I must say. What do you say, Fluppy?

Fluppy: Hmm, I could do with a few more of such sites.

Windy: You greedy fellow!

Fluppy: Hey, he called me crazy and now he is calling me greedy. This calls for another compensation!
