Ten Words That Make Me Smile
- HOLIDAY (especially Christmas, for so very many reasons!).
- DAUGHTERS (maybe because I have 4 and they're so freaking awesome!).
- LEARNING (because it is always a good thing and something we should never stop doing).
- GRANDMOTHER and GRANDDADDY (because mine were so wonderful!).
- HONEY (because this is what I called my dad when I was a toddler.).
- TUCKER (because he's my sweet pup and because of what my brother THOUGHT I said when I told him the dog's name was 'Tucker.').
- FRIEND (because I have one who was MIA for a long time but we are back and because of the wonderful friends I have at school!).
- YES (who doesn't smile when they get a 'yes'?).
- CONNIPTION (because my grandmother always used this in reference to how someone might react to something. NOTE: a conniption fit is NOT to be confused with a hissy fit. A conniption is way more serious...LOL)
- PO-PO (I can't even type the word without chuckling.).
I've got a plethora of words from which to choose but we're only supposed to list ten.
What words make you smile?
What a nice list. Yes, I do know the difference between a conniption and a hissy fit. How is that I wonder?
ReplyDeleteI think that you calling your Dad, honey is just so cute. I bet you were just adorable.
I laughed what I think your brother thought Tucker was named. :) Have a great Monday!
Kim- Thanks! And here I was thinking that only southerners knew the difference. LOL My brother is a NUT. :)
ReplyDeleteMy grandma used 'conniption' too. :-) Love your distinction between the two types of fits. lol
ReplyDeleteI like the word reciprocity because I love how it sounds. And it sounds as nice as it is.
I also smile when I hear the word obnoxious because when I was about 10 we were on a trip with my grandma and grandpa. She used the word 'obnoxious' every time I snapped my bubble gum. :-)
Judy- We knew we were in for it if someone was having a conniption. But if it was just a hissy, no problem. LOL My grandmother always said I was 'pixilated.' I hated it until I learned what it meant. Well, the second definition. Ha!
ReplyDeleteHoliday is a great one - especially if I could leave the kids at home.
ReplyDeleteWayne- Right. Until your nest is empty, like mine, and you wish you had all those kid-filled holidays back. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the word 'honey' - it just brings up a lot of romantic flashbacks that makes me smile. 'Po-po' is a funny word...I'm laughing now.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday Listicles!

Yona- I do too. I love to taste it and the color of raw honey is so pretty. And then there's my dad. LOL I think po-po is funny too. We always call the police the po-po these days.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!

ReplyDeleteWhat do you know about the po-po?
ReplyDeleteThat sentence made me laugh.

ReplyDeleteCONNIPTION! Can't remember the last time I used that fabulous word-- My late father always used to say it. I LOVE that word. I'll be using it every chance I get now. Thanks for the reminder.
