Not Quite

Maggie likes to take short cuts and make approximations in the way she communicates.

For example, when she gets mad she will often call you "Stupid."

Then, sometimes when she is mad she will also call you a "Coochie Bum."

But, when she is really upset she will often call you just "Stew" or "Cooch."

I guess the meaning is still there.

Which it wasn't when we were talking as a family the other night about the members of the Godhead.

Maggie knew God the Father and Jesus Christ right off, but was having trouble remembering the third.

When I prompted with "the Holy..." Maggie got a thoughtful look on her face, paused for a minute, and then said, "Skeleton?"

Close, Maggie. But not quite.
