My favorite made up word is.......
"Jelly-fishing"
I use it to describe the kids when they are "jelly-fishing" around adults listening in on the conversation. I got it from the Sponge Bob Squarepants episodes when the jelly fish are swimming (or jelly fishing) around him.
I've been happily married to my second wife for 26 years.
I have a married son with 4 daughters and a son, a married stepdaughter with a daughter and I have a married stepson with a stepson and adopted daughter.
I love them all and have a full house on holidays and get togethers.
