Puffed for Dummies

Hey there, my friend! Let's dive right in and talk about what "puffed" means. When we say something is "puffed," it means that it has expanded or become bigger, like when we blow air into a balloon. Imagine if you had a balloon and you blew air into it, what would happen? It would get bigger and take up more space, right? Well, that's what "puffed" means! It's when something swells up or increases in size.

But hold on a second, because "puffed" can also mean something else! Sometimes, we use the word "puffed" to describe something that is filled with air or has air trapped inside. Take a bag of chips, for example. When you open it up, you might notice that the chips are really light and airy. That's because they have been "puffed" up! The air inside the chips makes them feel light and fluffy.

You know, "puffed" can remind me of blowing up a balloon or eating those puffy chips. It's like when you take a deep breath and your chest gets bigger, or when you open that bag of chips and they feel airy. So, when we use the word "puffed," it means that something has expanded, swelled up, or is filled with air.

Now, let me ask you something to make sure you've got it. Can you think of something in your everyday life that gets "puffed" up? It could be a food or even something else you see around you. Take your time and think about it.
