no one will EVER believe this!
i wanted to come up with a way i could write random entries here in my journal. i remembered back to my high school senior english class, when my teacher would pick a random word, and for five minutes we would have to write anything on that topic. i decided to give it a go, and i grabbed a dictionary off my bookshelf. closing my eyes, i opened the book and stuck my finger on a page. what word do you think i landed on???
fornication
no joke! i though i was gonna die, i was laughing so hard. i thought maybe i had some kind of heretofore unrecognized psychic gift, so i figured i would try it again. i came up with "halibut," "ozone," "sarcasm," "buckboard," and just now... "Minnesota"! (fine if you live there, because it IS a nice state, BUT if you worked at my company, you would echo my immediate EEEEK!
so now i have to come up with something about fornication...
i remember as a young child of about 8 or so reading through the Bible one day. setting it aside, i walked down the stairs to find my mother in the laundry room ironing some shirts. i asked her if fornicate was a bad word. she looked at me and asked where i heard that word. i told her. she asked if i knew what it meant. i said i did. (i had stopped at the dictionary on the way to the laundry room.) she asked if it meant something that was bad or good. i said bad. (at least it was in the context in the Bible.) she said that if it meant something bad, then it must be a bad word, and that if she heard me using that word again, she would wash my mouth out with soap.
oh, SUCH an exciting story. :-P
