Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

I want that cupcake!!!
To: xsmommy
Then, I guess a simple
"LICK ME"
would have been more appropriate?
