The 'R-Word!'

A couple of weeks ago everything was just so 'random' ..... 'life was random', 'that song was so random', 'he was totally random'.
Well, according to WizzKid and CoolDude, it was! (I do promise to NEVER use the word RANDOM again after this post.) Oh yes, it had become an issue ... a minor one ....but never the less an irritating issue in the Gibbons' household. Whenever the boys couldn't find a suitable adjective they would slot in the 'R- WORD'! Of course in their eyes it was the coolest word around but I saw it as pure laziness!
Then ...... Miss Tanzi
exclaimed, "My outfit looks so random!" I nearly went into cardiac arrest.... heck, my 5 year old has caught this terrible disease?
Hearing 'random' in stereo is bad, but hearing it in surround sound is 'Helsinki' ..... so, I banned the use of 'RANDOM' ..............
f-o-r-e-v-e-r !!
I am happy to say that two weeks down the line they have all forgotten about that random word .... except me, who has it permanently etched on my left-side brain!

OH Fifi! You kill me. So fun and funny you are. I don't think random has had a craze over here yet but there have been other things to make me twitch. :)

I clearly remember a time when I was a kid where my mom told me I wasn't allowed to say "dumb pickle" anymore. I have no idea why I would have wanted to say it in the first place but I've always been a little off.

I try not to say "amazing" right now because it is currently being overused by adults!
