<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 152370, member: 111&quot;]Heh, last time my older brothers and Cuz got together we were lamenting about our references to the &#039;Bobbsey Twins&#039;, &#039;Mutt &amp; Jeff&#039;, &#039;Rosie the Riveter&#039; (Mom and her sister built planes during WWII,&nbsp; going to work in their dungarees), etc, being lost on most people.&nbsp; We are a family of compulsive readers, so when I related that my recent conversational reference to &#039;Big Brother&#039; resulted in the comment that it was a great show (No, it&#039;s not!), and a blank expression at mention of Orwell, it shocked the boys, who are still the &#039;boys&#039;, even in their sixties.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other day, told Mom that the stray kittens were &#039;gamboling&#039; around, and she commented that it was a word seldom used anymore, but so perfectly described their activity...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
