- Stunk – noun – Skunk. “Pee yew, I smell a stunk!”
- Constructions – noun – Instructions. “We need the constructions for the legos!”
Me: “Evie, I need you to get dresses A.S.A.P. Do you know what A.S.A.P. means?”
Evie: “Yes. As. Soon. As. You. Can.”
Ollie: “Do you know there are two people named Stephanie? That means they looooove each other.”
