Oh, keep the stories coming if you've got them, Jody. They're great! Mickey gave a test on the phone. He spoke a line of a song and asked me which word wasn't really a word. I knew something was off, but couldn't put my finger on it. When he told me what it was, it was obvious. It was sort of a combination of two words and it sounded like a real word. Can't remember what it was now.

I told Mickey I often did that by accident... when I excitedly try to communicate and my mind hasn't decided which word to use, it comes out in a combination of the two. It usually makes me laugh and makes people stare. (Imagine that.) Anyway, Mickey told me to keep right on doing it -- that that was how language developed.
