Angry Mom

Last night Mr. Morgan and I played our newest family game Nymble with Claire. Contrary to several kids games, we all enjoy playing this game. And Claire will get better at it the older she gets. For now, we let some of her oddly paired synonyms and antonyms slide.

In between rounds, Claire asked, "Gray, is 'angry mom' spelled m-o-m?"

Guessing where she was headed yet trying to hold back laughter, I asked, "What do you mean?"

"You know, an angry mom--like with torches and pitchforks."

Not suppressing his laughter, Mr. Morgan explained that torches and pitchforks were associated with an angry "mob."
