One of my favorite writers Fredrick Schwartz, spun a yarn for the McCunt essay contest. This was originally posted on one of the most up-to-date, authentic, brilliant news sources online: Editorials from Hell's Leading Newspaper The Dis-Brimstone Daily Pitchfork, a read that you must feed. Consider it truth and liberal soul food. I was on my way to Denver by way of a chartered Gulfstream V out of
Merriam-Webster has announced over one hundred new words that will go into its 11th Edition Collegiate Dictionary.

Before Thanksgiving F added an almost unintelligible “chicken” “kitty” and “dog” to her vocabulary. Over the Thankgiving holiday she added quite clear versions of “hi” “hello” and “ball”.
J uttered his first sentence after he reached for a water glass the day after Thanksgiving and I took it away. “I want it.”
I was kind of hoping “I love you” would come first.

Last week I got my hair cut. I wasn't thrilled when I left the salon, but I thought things might turn out okay once I'd washed and styled it myself. For a week I tried to convince my hair to do SOMETHING. I try not to be too uptight about my hair, but some bad haircuts are just beyond my coping skills. This happened to be one of those cuts.
So tonight while the little man met with the tutor, I
Zane continues to amaze us with his expanding vocabulary. Some of his new words are:Otter (Ottew) - From his book of ocean babies.Grandpa (Gandpa)Grandma (Gandma)CookieMouth - Put's his hand on his mouth.Butt - Pats his bottom.Pee-Pee - This has two meanings. Actual peeing and his...well...you know.Thankfully he hasn't said any bad words yet. We're quite sure he's heard quite a few. We were watching an episode of Miami Ink last night where Yogi (Japanese guy) and his wife were trying to teach their daughter to talk and all she really kept saying was "oh shit." It was funny. But it could be quite embarrasing also.Rothfamilyadventures.com

I thought I'd take a moment to list a few new words to emerge recently from Zane's expanding vocabulary. He's now pretty much repeating everything he hears (we have to be very careful). However, he knows the meaning of these words and uses them appropriately.Here they are:Elmo (Melmo)Bath (Bass)Lola (lolola) - Our dogPoo-Poo - He says it after he does the deedNight-Night (Ni-Ni)HorsieKittyGoThis post is mainly due to the fact that I'm avoiding actually doing real work here at my work desk.Rothfamilyadventures.com
Zane is saying some new words this week:Banana (he says nanana)Orca (he learned it from his book "Ocean Babies")Bug (from his book "Baby Animals")No! (We were hoping it would be a while until he said this, but he hears it so much I was beginning to wonder how he hadn't said it earlier)Rothfamilyadventures.com
Over the past few days Zane has added a couple of new words to his ever expanding English vocabulary. This is in addition to his entire language of Zanese, which he speaks often, but nobody can understand. His new words are Turtle and Duck. He learned them from a book of baby animals he likes us to read to him about 20 times a day. Repetitiveness pays off.Now for some artsy-fartsy black and white photos captured last night in the house, in the backyard and playing with Lola.Enjoy!My Public ShoeboxRothfamilyadventures.com
