If you ever spend a day at Bookworm, you might feel the need to keep a dictionary close at hand. You’ll soon find that Bookworm talk is no ordinary speak.
“What’s your RA selection?”
“Who is the RP for MOP today?”
“Is your LP done? What’s the Ext Act.?”
‘E, What’s your food idea for PsM tomorrow?’
“The MWs are in a BOD meeting.”
“I haven’t finished my reading for SG!”
“What’s the activity of ELTRPA this week?”
“We have to do RR for 12 more kids!”
“Only a true PsT would come up with a plan like that!”
“Get me 2 copies each of BK, MLMW and BS, and don’t forget to add it to the KI invoice!”
“Does your LP need a WS?”
“We haven’t done anything on FR this month?!”
IF, you have Mdp 4A and B; PN will be your hands on and SD, you have 2A and B and NL is your hands on. SN, FL and I will be in Aux-Ald that day.”
“This NPC thing is taking forever! Do you have any idea how long it’s been?!”
“Such FCs you people are!”
“MdP, Aux-Car and Aux-Ald, KMS, STBPS, SSBHS, STGPS” (and these are just the LiS school codes)
“Fill in the RA for MOP, don’t forget to submit your LiS reports for MdP today because you’ll have STBPS tomorrow; try and write a BP for the session and oh! By the way, your RH is here!” (Yes, this last one, is in fact a single sentence!)
‘Working at Bookworm is a lifestyle choice.’ and we live by the code and speak by the code. They say that each family has an idiosyncratic style and manner of speaking with each other. This is ours.
Ofcourse we each add our own personalized spin to the language in conversation. ‘Where do they all come together at a common point?’ you ask. Open a storybook in Bookworm and you’ll know the answer.
P.s- We now also have ATC added to the list…we’ll update you on what that is very soon!
’til then…here’s something to help you figure out what we’re talking about.
