My kids, who are teenagers now, call the aloe vera green gel you put on sunburns, Flubber, since it looks like the stuff from the movie “Flubber”.

Those are so folksy and awesome.

My mom’s favorite word is gestalt. Seriously. And she says it like gesh-talt. In pretty much every conversation too.

I always say, “What’s Up, Chuck!” Combining What’s Up and Up-Chuck into one phrase. Also, whenever Liam says Guess What? I say “turkey lips!” We call the fun zone the “area.” Get your hands out of your “area,” or did you wash your “area?” My big thing is exaggeration. I exaggerate everything (see?). I’ve told you 27 times to wash your hands, etc. Good one!

We have multiple uses for the line “There’s no crying in baseball!” from A League of Their Own. It basically means, “Suck it up, kid. There’s no objective reason why you should be crying right now, so knock it off.”

We also have a tendency to yell “SPCA” at our dogs, as in “If you piss in our bed again, we’re taking you to the SPCA.”

I love the forty-eleven! I’m totally going to start using that.

We’ve got a million (or should I say forty-eleven million), but here are two words we made up:

Flumfiddy – this is when you are feeling kind of grumpy and not quite right, like you can’t get comfy or can’t figure out what you want to eat combined with an Eeyore-like attitude.

Dumptydoo – this is when you are oblivious to things around you but are kind of bumbling your way through stuff. It is often applied to our dog, who can be very clueless as she goes about her business.
