And of course by "we" I mean Matt. Matt has this thing about words. If someone says a word he doesn't like, he goes fetal and I can tell it's like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard. So, I'm delighted to share these words with you. I'm also inviting you to say them in front of both of us so that I can watch his reactions and giggle. Here they are: Moist. That is the number one, all-time, worst word for Matt. He also has aversions to teensy, weensy, scooch, cinch, crusty, skeeves, yicky, skivvies, and anything similar with the long "ee" or "sk" sound. Oh, and he doesn't like anyone calling me Rebecks.What's the point of this, you ask? We were out taking a family walk and noticed some of our neighbors' Halloween decorations. Matthew calls any skeletons or the like "scary guys". Well, I told him that he doesn't need to be afraid of them because they're not real, but that they are "icky." At the very next house, Matthew tried to say "icky" but had "scary guys" on his mind, so it came out "Skicky Guys." I'm laughing so hard right now remembering this that I can barely type! Now I try to get Matthew to say "Skicky" in front of his father all the time. You can only imagine what his reaction is. I encourage our faithful fans to comment using as many of these words as possible.
I've had two days off of school and Matt started two-a-day basketball practices, so I've been deprived of adult interaction, thus this rediculous post.

Oh Matt. I'll never forget when Matthew was just a teensy weensy little guy learning to crawl. Rebecca brought him into see you and I couldn't have been more impressed with his ability to scooch around the office. Of course, when I told you about how impressed I was, you nearly threw yourself down the stairs at the word "scooch". Oh, it makes my eyes all moist just thinking about it. :)
Ah, Geoff. I always did have fun with your use of and aversion to certain words. I can remember in college, asking you to scooch on over because the seat was moist. It's those teensy sort of funny memories that are the best. Buy any new chinos lately?
My dad was not able to publish his comment so he forwarded it to me to put up:
Do you remember how MOIST your jersey was, when in defiance to a ref's call, you pulled it over your head? Or, a couple years ago while coaching, you maintained your sideline position 'in the box' as the referee backpeddaled, and could have remained unharmed, if only you had SCOOCHED out of his way! And now little Matt, though TEENSY WEENSY compared to your team, has come up with the SKINKIEST of terms for all boys who don't wear CRUSTY PANTIES!
Hey guys! Here's some words/phrases that my kids use. Wondered how they registered on the Matt Moist o meter.
