A new word

Destiny's mommy has off work today and called to ask if she could come for the day to go swimming. On the way there Destiny was saying that she hoped they would not be going to the same pool they went to last time, because her little brother almost drowned. She said, "Even in the 3 feet it was higher than my head." I said I didn't see how that was possible, since she is more than 3 feet tall. She replied, "Well, it was. It must have been extermolated." I smiled to myself and thought, "Now there's a new word." After about a minute she asked, "Is extermolated a real word?" I replied, "Well, I don't know. I never heard it before. What did you think it means?" She answered, "It means it had the ocean water poured into it."

So there you go. A new word for Webster's Dictionary:

Extermolate: to pour ocean water into a pool.

Kid do say the darnest thing! But, my mind kept going back to her brother almost drowning. That's scary.

When does Miss Sophie arrive?

Hugs!

Tell Destiny she can give Webster a run for his money...all kinds or words end up in the dictionary these days...who knows!

That's funny though...I love the things that kids come up with.

Jean, that is so cute! Sometimes I make up words like that too, but I CANNOT get them past hubby! He loves the "Increase Your Word Power" in the Reader's Digest!
