New Words

Our house is full of new words.

BubbaJ: "But why?"  Every mother loves those words, right?  I haven't quite started entertaining them with answers yet because he seems satisfied just asking.

Sissy:  "Literally."  She says this like one would use the word "seriously."  Like "Did you really just do that?"  Almost right, but not quite.  And she says it so often I haven't found a good way to correct her.  So if you hear her say "literally" somewhat inappropriately feel free to correct her or ignore it.

Precious:  "My life is over!"  In her dramatic voice.  This comes in response to anything from someone wasn't nice to me at school to you passed the ketchup instead of mustard.  Good times!

I even have "new words" in a way.  I have never enjoyed reading.  In fact, I found some way around reading almost every book I was assigned in high school and college.  And in my adult life I read only for self-improvement.  Then I joined a book club and continued to read only self-improvement books until one of the ladies bought us the book for the month and it was simply a book to read for pleasure.  And I enjoyed it!  Since then I have read seven other books.  Legit books!  And I enjoyed them.  If this keeps up I might have to actually use my library card.  :o
