[Magdalen] All in the family

[Lynn Ronkainen]

I have racked my brain today about this sort of 'inside family vocab' and 
couldn't think of any... Ginga's post suddenly reminded me of 2:

fufume  - my son Nathan's description of perfume when he was about 2
and frinkling - also Nathan, to describe light rain/sprinkling

both of these words stayed in the family vocabulary for years and I still 
use frinkling and have introduced it to a close friend who often shares 
sudden outside sprinkles with me, so it lives on!

there are a few others itching to surface on my brain, if I remember them 
I'll post again : )

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
