Wanna know how to put magic in your words?
Well, get rid of all your BLAH words.
What are BLAH words, you ask?
They are boring, put-me to-sleep, yawn, sigh, roll-your-eyes words.
You know, those words like…… hmmm…. GOOD.
Your mother asks you, “How was your day?”
And you answer, “Good.”
Then your mother turns slightly yellow because she gets a bit bored, tries to stifle a yawn, and doesn’t get what you mean.
So she asks you again, “So what happened today?”
“Well, the party was good. The ice cream was good and the games were good.”
Then, your mother turns more mustard because she’s trying her best not to fall flat on her face and start snoring.
She takes a deep breath and tries to look patient, “GOOD? What do you mean good?”
This is the part when you take out your magic wand and change the word good.
I’m feeling fantastic and elated!
The party was scintillating!
The ice cream was delicious, slurpy-liscious, drooliscious!
The games were electrifying!
Then, your mother wakes up and a smile bursts out of her face. You know she’s happy because you’re happy.
