Most car trips these days are punctuated with “VERB ending in ing” or “Adjective.”

To my utter dismay, many of the responses seem to revolve around bodily functions and potty humor. Despite years of education, it was only yesterday that I learned “farty” is considered an adjective in the world of 6 and 7 year olds.

So I was both curious and ready to head off more colorful language when I overheard Cat ask Tate for an adjective to describe Mom.

Tate thought for a minute and then said, “Squishy. With a hint of lavender.”
