Dad shouting at the TV: big feelings about politics, sentence 8
Grown-ups say it in their own words: a Welsh mum might be "tamping" (furious) at the news and then give you a "cwtch" (a cuddle), a Northern gran might call a scared child "nesh" (feels the cold, a bit soft), and an American dad might say "don't have a cow" (calm down).
Who acts: Grown ups, Welsh mum, Northern gran, American dad, ups · What happens: grow, say, be, give, call, feel · To what, where: worry, own words, tamping, news, cwtch, you · Speech: someone speaks here
