Two boys agree between themselves—they choose a word called a homonym, that is, one with a double meaning, for example: zamek (castle/lock), or lód (ice/deck), and then carry on a conversation in front of the troop, replacing that word with the phrase “my Mimi,” each of them speaking about a different meaning of the word. Their task is to steer the conversation so that, on the one hand, it is witty, and on the other, the definitions of the word gradually become more precise, making it easier to guess. The troop tries to guess, and the first one to correctly say the word wins.
