What's in a word?

Onomatopoeia, words that make the sound they represent, are awesome. In my middle school English class, we were asked to make a list of sound words. My teacher made the mistake of telling us the record for her class was 50 words. I went home and went straight to my B.C. cartoon collection -- Johnny Hart was a master of onomatopoeia. My teacher told me to stop when I got to 250 words; that was good enough for an A.

About Zarahemla Times
Zarahemla Times is about a family living in the suburbs of Zarahemla in the time frame of about the end of Alma or Helaman in the Book of Mormon. Or so.
Jacob, the dad, is the local reporter, editor and distributor of the Zarahemla Times.
Sariah, the mom, keeps everything running around the home. She's second counselor in the Relief Society.
Naomi and Kib are their two children. Naomi is a typical 16-year-old girl, likes boys and enjoys school. Kib is 11, and is maybe a little too smart for his own good.
Jacob's mother lives with the family as well. They call her Gramma, and no one is quite sure if she's dotty or not...the important thing is that she's an awesome cook.
