I just love tum pie! This made me think of all of the made up words we have, too. The secret language of families!

I love this idea of cataloging the language of your family. So many times we fall into using the same phrases that begin to take on a whole new life of their own.
Thanks for sharing today!

What a fun idea for a post! It’s inspiring me to consider exploring other genres when I write. I’m pretty stuck on long-winded mini-memoirs. 🙂 Time to branch out! I love how this brief catalog gives us a glimpse into your special relationships.
