I can honestly say that I never said that in my elocution lessons as a child/teen, lol.
me either but it sounds like one of those tongue twister things used to improve enunciation ...[DOUBLEPOST=1446881164][/DOUBLEPOST]
Two hours I am never getting back. Those leaves are all single stickers. It restuck well, however I don't think it will take kindly to being restuck a third time.

nice tables - they're not from Kmart surely!
 
If it helps enunciation and pronunciation, yes, it can. Drop the like too. It make you like sound like a teenage girl like, you know?
like seriously!?! I was just like totz thinking the same thing! OMG OMG OMGGGGG!!


(can I add that I'm sooooo glad I had sons and not daughters to get through those teenage years!!! I couldn't cope with the squealing and stuff ... mind you ... the monosyllabic answers aka grunts were a bit frustrating ..

how was school today GRUNT
that bad? what happened? grunt mumble GRUNT
got any homework? GRUNT
want something to eat? GRUNT
home for dinner tonight? GRUNT

only the slight pitch differentation let me know if that was an affirmative grunt or a negative one ... eventually learnt to phrase the questions so that they had to answer in a full subject or at least a couple of real words! lol

LOL. I read that in a specific voice too. One of my bugbears in speech. The weird thing at work is when men of a certain ethnicity call and say like in that teenage way, it's all I can do to not start laughing. Sounds creepy but funny too. Haven't heard it for a while though.

My partner made those out of old crates!!!

The Muttable looks awesome, or it will. I will get some pics but you need to visualise a mirror.

Total $27

I have never even looked at Pinterest. But I do have an ideas book.

This is the Muttable in the bedroom. It is made from 2x $7 baskets and a $6 cheeseboard. And the stylings cost $7 in total!!!!

You have to image a mirror on the naked tree wall.

I fear I may be guilty of occasionally adapting some teenspeak. Thank deity it's not a constant thing otherwise I may get my adult card revoked.

And yeah teenage girls are bad news. My sister and I are less than 12 months apart in age and I think my dad aged approximately 100 years during our teenage years while my brothers have proven to be pretty stress free.
