LOL, you better not let Mike see this blog then...hehehe... or at least from a computer that's in the house.
Oh! random has got to be the most over-used word right now. I don't blame Mike for banning it. I might ban it in our house:)
I think Missy used the word "random" like 50 times today:) I guess since Mike banned it, she brought it here!
OH I SOOOO should banish random!
Other words I want to banish:
SUPER (though I find myself using it sometimes)
HYPER
SWEET
SNAP
"IT'S LIKE...WHAT THE HECK?"
or "IT'S LIKE....WHAT??" (every kid in my teenagers group says this all the time, and FYI it can be used interchangeably with "random")
Oh and that reminds me I'm also banning
FYI
HEY
JACKED
GANGSTA
AMAAAAAZING (I used to like to use this word when it wasn't such a trendy word. I still use it sometimes when appropriate, but I resent how overused it is. It ruins it for the rest of us! hehehe)
Oh the day when my kids start a lingo that I will have to learn...Right now I struggle with them repeating everything I say.
