My darling Emily is so funny! She is beautiful, sweet, loving, and very funny! One of the things she does that is so funny, is that she abbreviates her words. She calls me “moth” which is short for mother, not the insect that flies. I will ask her if she can do something, and she says, “I totes can do that!” Which means, “I totally can do that!” Or, “I probs can do that!” Which means, “I probably can do that!” Then there’s “awk” for awkward.

So one day she shortened the word sister, to sist. Then I hear her say, “Note to self, do not shorten the word ‘sister’!”

Sooo funny!!!! It’s probs best not to call your sister a “sist”! (cyst)
