What does [insert word] mean?
Living with Nicholas has turned into a 24/7 game of Catch Phrase in the past week. He wants us to define words constantly. And I know this is good for him cognitively but so often it is impossible to define the word or phrase without using any of the words invovled! Tonight's one that made my head hurt was "more likely."

That reminds me of a scene from "Auntie Mame". Mame Dennis required Patrick to write down words he did not understand and look them up later. At one point, Patrick read some words that he had written down. Auntie Mame did not want to get into those particular words, said “Oh, my my my my, what an eager little mind. You won't need some of these words for months and months”, and took away the list.
