if it is in the dictionary, it's a word, luffy *wink* And besides, who speaks proper English nowadays. I'm still trying to break Kelly of using "now on" in a sentence. As in "it's really cold now on". Kyle's a little better though he tends to make up words.

And use words in VERY WRONG contexts O.o;;

me: *driving boys home from school on my day off... it's pouring outside*
Kelly: wow... it's really raining!
Kyle: yeah. The clouds must be having wet dreams.
Kelly/me: O.o;; *crack up*

woot! Yay for subject derailings!
