It happened to a little girl named Lulu one day at school. It must have started with the fact that the city was given the same name twice. If you notice yourself talking all "Higgledy-Piggledy", you may want to run pell-mell to a Walla Walla elementary school and ask for Mrs. Bell, Mr. Thomas, or Mrs. Carter. They will know how to close the crazy, but fun word warp! Have a wonderful visit! <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">[] <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Elissa Ellis <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;">
