What's that word again?

I hate it when I'm writing an article and a word that I want to use is at the tip of my tongue. I know the meaning and how to use it but I can't, for the life of me, remember the word!

I feel like shouting, sometimes I end up asking someone to help me out. And most of the time, that someone is my son. Imagine how silly it must have looked (to him) when he was just 7 years old. He must be thinking, I thought my mom is smart!

I had to act out the word, explain what it means, give an example of a situation where that word can be used. It's like playing Pictionary. But totally different because I don't feel so good about myself when my son finally suggests a very simple word and I say, "Oh yeah, that's the word".

But he always makes me smile in the end because he pinch my cheek and gives me a kiss while saying, "You're getting so forgetful, Mama".

Have you ever been in this situation?

What’s your favorite word?

I don’t really have a favorite word, but since I have to choose one right now I would go for “want”.

WANT is defined, by the Accurate and Reliable Dictionary website, as the state of not having; the condition of being without anything; absence or scarcity of what is needed or desired; deficiency; lack; as, a want of power or knowledge for any purpose; want of food and clothing.

Even if it’s not Christmas yet, I’m sure you want, desire or wish for something at this very moment. I pity you if you don’t feel the need for something right now, you may have to check if you’re really a human being or if you’re still alive.

I want to eat right now but I’m trying not to put food in my mouth before dinner. I need to have more cabinets installed in the house for our ever growing collection of books and clothes. My laptop needs its own computer table also. I wish for mall sale everyday. I pray that my son will always be obedient. I need a nice hairdo and I badly need a foot spa also. This list will continue on and on and on so I better stop right now. And that’s the “wants” that I can think of right this very minute.

What about you, what do you want right now?
