Family-isms
I think every family has what I call "Family-isms". A Family-ism is a word that means something that only your family knows or originated with your family. Here are some of ours:
Flat cheese means American (or any sliced) cheese
Stick cheese is String cheese
Shakey cheese is Parmesan
Ookies are cookies
Wooden Boy is "Pinocchio"
The Lizard is "The Wizard of Oz"
Mickle Donal's is McDonald's
We can't be the only people with Family-isms. What are yours?

Nummies for nursing although Bethany now calls them "side" and "other side."
"Forte" to get my son to speak above a whisper. Who knew piano lessons would come in handy in such a variety of ways?
We have others, but my mind is blank.
