Niffler Tickling

Today at school, we had English. In English, we have to identify parts of a text. We had to use a newspaper article to do so. Here's what happened.


We looked at an article about the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The teacher was one paper short, resulting in zombiepeasant and I getting paired together. Like everybody else, we read the text and listed vital parts of it (quotations, hooks, the five W's, that kind of thing). It was going considerably well for the first quick bit. Then we had to flip the page.


The very first thing to greet our eyes were the words "Tickling the Niffler". I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound particularly PG. For those that don't know, a Niffler is one of the titular fantastic beasts. It seeks out and digs for gold and other treasures. They can destroy houses quickly with this behaviour, but they can be calmed down via tickles. That's what the title was referring to. Sure didn't sound that way, though.


You know me. You know how my brain functions. So you probably know what my first thought was. I shared this with Zombie and she agreed that we should refer to it as "Niffler tickling" for the rest of time. So, dirty minds unite!
