Glossary of Terms

It occurs to me that sometimes I use words, names, or phrases that you might not recognize, unless you are related to me or have read every single blog posting I have ever written.  In an effort to be more clear, I have created this glossary of Tenor Dad terms that I can then link to when I use one of them, without having to explain it in writing every time.  I may update this post from time to time, or I may not.  We’ll see how this works.  So anyway, here are some quick definitions for you!

Bubbas – Bottles of milk, warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds or so.

Mousey Lionheart – Our cat who likes to scratch all of our people.
