Hey there! So, today we're going to talk about the word "bellyache."

Have you ever had a sore tummy or complained about a stomach ache after eating too much ice cream? Well, that's basically what a bellyache is. It's when your tummy hurts and feels uncomfortable.

Imagine your belly as a little house for all the food you eat. When something doesn't agree with your belly, it starts to feel yucky and that's when you start to bellyache.

But, "bellyache" can also be used to describe someone who is always complaining or grumbling, kind of like how your little sister always whines when she doesn't get her way. So, if someone says, "stop bellyaching," it means they want you to stop complaining.

So, in a nutshell, "bellyache" can either mean a tummy ache or complaining a lot. It's a simple word that describes either a physical sensation or an attitude.

Now that we've talked about it, do you feel like you've got a good handle on what "bellyache" means?
