If you've read my blog for a long time, you might remember my "I Wonder" posts. I scrolled through my blog looking for one of these so I could go back and see if Rose Petals from Heaven was still blogging, because she made the beautiful background to my photo! Thanks again, Mo!
This particular post really made me laugh out loud because the conversations continue to be this annoying, aggravating, etc.
BUT, I've learned to just agree and keep quiet. 😇

Oh, how annoying it is to suffer from lethologica, especially when you're a writer....
I wonder how many of you have heard of this word? I certainly hadn't until I accidentally came across it the other day. And oh, what a perfect word for so many of us.....
Lethologica - noun: the inability to remember a word or put your finger on the right word.
Ah yes, and sometimes it's worse being on the receiving end of a conversation......

The Ronald: "Look at the guy in this commercial."
Becky: "Which one?"
The Ronald: "That blonde guy. Wasn't he in that TV show that used to be on?"
Becky: "What TV show?"
The Ronald: "Oh you know. That one about cops and detectives. We used to watch it all the time."
Becky: "We've watched lots of shows that sound like that. Can you give me a little more information, like what decade it was??"
....and my exasperation goes on...
