That is great. I think they must’ve gotten that quote from my 7-year-old, because he just yesterday fearlessly stated that my husband and I are “without a doubt the single most meanest parents in the whole world ever.”
Forwarded to my husband who agrees absolutely and completely and tells me so frequently. Oops…did I use too many adverbs? Hyperbole would say you could never, in a million books or years, use too many, right?
Funny. Good example of form and function. However, I think of Jesus and Easter morning as the single most magnificent event ever…certainly not hyperbole. Just thinking or overthinking the definition given. Silly me. I like Fun Fridays.

Yeah, I’ve heard words along those lines too, Katie. 🙂 This morning, in fact. 😉 I think kids may be the masters of hyperbole.

Katie, You must be doing something right! LOL What was so mean? Did you make him each veggies?

If a hyperbole is absolutely the most magnificently exciting thing ever, is a hypobole the dullest thing humanly imaginable?
