My Favourite Word – Take One

I have long been a lover of language. Ironically, or pathetically I suppose, I do not have a tremendous propensity for linguistics thanks to an auditory processing issue. In any event, I have had a special affinity for the word ‘segue‘ since I was a kid. The dichotomy between the spelling and pronounciation just enthralled me! There’s no ‘w’! Sounds as though there should be one … and there isn’t!

Recently, I remarked to Beernut that ‘segue’ was my favourite word.

“Um…you’re a mom. Don’t you think your favourite word should be ‘family’?”

Do kids just sit around and come up with knives to plunge into the hearts of their guilt-ridden working mothers??
