Mnemonic


[chu-] Chucky is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where he is making a 船 ship out of second hand parts. He gets a small 舟 boat and attaches 儿 legs to it so it can walk on land, then attaches a 口 mouth of a doll onto it so it can speak. He then hops into his new 船 ship, brandishes his iconic kitchen knife, and calls it to march forward and out of the pawn shop.
