Today my New Word is “Fave”. Being Sly, Cunning and Alert I
quickly caught on that this was short for “Favorite”.
I wish I had not caught on so quickly. As soon as I realized
that I had figured out such a Cool
Modern Word I started to fear people were going to start calling me “Dude”.
Actually I knew I was in trouble a long time ago when I
figured out that “Celeb” was short for “Celebrity”.
Oh well, at least I’m not famous because then I would be a
“Celebrity Dude”.

We are all well aware that the Internet was invented to…
Ø Not
let us relax without being interrupted constantly by a Notification about Useless
Information that just popped into our Smartphones.
Ø Allowing
you to worry about things that you can’t do anything about but worry about like
a Ferry Boat overturning 6,872 miles away from where you are and killing a
bunch of people who you would never ever have met in your entire life.
Ø Letting
you know that you are terribly out of style because you just bought new jeans
and you are ashamed that you could not afford holes in your new jeans so you
bought the cheaper ones without holes and you are about to get to work with your
scissors, your wire brush and your hammer so you can put holes in them and you
are praying to God in heaven that no one will be the wiser that your holes are Cheap
Wearer Created Holes and not Cool Store
Bought Holes.

Oh yea, back to how “Fave” jumped out at me…
My phone just showed me an ad that was headlined…
Faves from Ellen DeGeneres!
Right next to the cutest picture of Ellen you ever saw are
these words…
Ellen’s Fave List
My back-to-school faves for
a cool school year.
Love,
(Ellen’s Cool Signature)
Ellen’s First Fave:
Wonder Nation Clear Backpack…Stylish & see-through, so you’ll know if you
forgot to pack Timmy’s lunch. (I wonder if it would work just as well if you
child was not named Timmy but was named Papoose?)
Ellen’s Second Fave:
Boon Bento Lunch Box…Shaped like snail so kids will have the most adorable
lunch possible. (Maybe that’s why I turned out the way I did. I can’t ever
remember eating even one Adorable Lunch at St. Anthony of Padua Grammar School.)
Ellen’s Third Fave:
ZIPIT Wildings Pencil Case…Fun moms get their kids fun pencil cases. That’s all
there is to it. (If my Mother were still here, she would be proud that she was
not a Fun Mom and I would love her even more for standing her ground.)
It’s hard to imagine how Timmy and Papoose will not get all
A’s with all these Cool Ellen Faves.
Would I kid u?
