The Psychoticism of my Sister's Creativity
I had the opportunity this weekend to have a bit of a slumber party with my little sister Amy. As we watched a movie, and talked until practically 2 in the morning (which to my amazement, is early for her), we laughed a lot as we remembered the last sleepover we had where we played the game Scattergories and I swear, Amy was extremely giddy that evening. Under the category "bird" and the letter "J", I had cleverly come up with "Jbird" which I later found out from the Peters is not sufficient enough for points, but as if Amy's was any better. She had come up with "J-Cardinal." Pronounced just as it looks, no need for phonetics here. But that's not the end. I cannot remember the category that came up, but she had placed the word "Lemgraf" as an answer, laughing until she nearly wet herself. Watching her laugh over a created word that made no sense obviously was having me in hysterics as well. She is one of the most creative people I will ever meet, as I remember my childhood and made up words such as "hyuk" or "batosh-bush" or "sarcalargalarg." (None of which have any significant meaning.) These words remain fresh in my memory because it is a direct link to our childhood and also to a sister who inspires me to stretch my imagination every day.
Oh, and yes, "lemgraf" does have a definition, but as if I'm going to say what it is. There are some secret languages that must stay between siblings.
