Debate Over Words

Every once in awhile you may have a conversation with someone and you blurt out a word and they look at you with this blank look - what?  This actually has happened to me on many occasions.  I have in the past, and still do, make up my own words.  Is it a bad thing?  I don't think so.  It may drive other people crazy though!  

This is why my husband tends to possibly not believe me when I have said certain things.  Our latest conversation over the meaning of a word started last weekend.  We are preparing to have a small family get together this coming weekend and it was also time to do some spring cleaning.  The kids were on board.  Well, to be honest they probably had no idea what was coming.  I decided we would start upstairs and work our way down.  The kids rooms were then obviously first.  I went into Katelynn's room and we started cleaning.  It was time for me to eliminate toys.  We have an over abundance of them and I can't take it anymore.  So, my word of the day was, "Purge".  We are purging today.  We need to get rid of things.  Apparently according to the husband this is not exactly what he thought the meaning of the word was.  We debated over this for the entire day.  I purged the house and waste and even eliminated clothes from my own closet that needed to go.  Purge, purge, purge - to eliminate!  I was pretty successful going through toys from the upstairs, main level, and the basement.  Katelynn actually did extremely well and let me get rid of a bunch of stuffed animals that she never plays with out of her closet.  She said she was being kind and the poor kids may have more enjoyment out of them than she is.  Her words, not mine.  Junior on the other hand was spinning circles and had no idea what to think or what to do.  All he figured out was - mommy has a big bag and things are going in it and leaving my bedroom.  I actually had to bring him up to his room at one point and show him that there were still plenty of toys for him to play with.  

Tonight Dan and I were doing some bookwork and while I had his full attention and eyes directed at the computer I pulled up the word "Purge".  And what does it state Purge means - to rid of whatever is impure or undesirable; cleanse; purify. the act or process of purging.  Ha - I win this debate again! Yeah for me.  He will now know next time that I say the word Purge - what out becomes momma's coming through with bags.  There is always a need to Purge.
