Ha! This was funny! We should all try making up words. My son used to talk about ‘constructions’. Which was the instructions he needed to construct something. Now it’s a common word in our family. In my case, it’s ‘these da** constructions make so sense!!!’

Ooh, I have so many words, most of which I share only with Erik. Sometimes I think about being old and in a nursing home, and saying something and having my grandchildren think I’ve lost it, when really I’m just speaking Lisa-and-Erik language.
