How We Say Things

Oh the subtelties of the English language. As I listen to Zach say certain words, it is very endearing.

Lasagna = masagna

Degrees, as in, it is 98 degrees = Agrees, as in, it is 98 agrees outside.

Med = medium

Yes, we all know that this is true. But he actually says that something is med. The first time he did this, Rinar was like, huh? Med? To which Zach replied, "Yes, Dad. That means medium!" So, he uses this as a word, without the realization that is an abbreviation that you write, but don't say. Who are we to correct him? It is too cute.

Raef has one too that I just picked up on...

Neckwork = Network

There are only 3 more days until we go on our family vacation to Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and wherever else we decide to go. It should be a lot of fun and I am looking forward to getting out of the Mojave desert and all this brown.
