Momfinitions

Twittermoms is having a little contest along with Parents Connect to create your own momfinitions- words and definitions that relate to moms. So, because I like contests and prizes and writing, I thought I would give it a go. Here are my five momfinitions-

1. Knimples  [nim - PULLS] noun: Dimples found on the knees of babies who sometimes over-indulge in milk drinking. An example of such a baby is pictured below. The lower picture shows a knimple.

Sentence- Your babies knimples are so cute!

2) Faceblogittermomitis [ face- blog- ITTER-mom-I-tis) noun: A disease that effects mothers who long for adult interaction. It involves obsession with social networking sites such at Facebook and Twitter as well as excessive checking of one's blog. There is no known cure at this time due to the relatively new onset of this condition.

Sentence- I don't know about that Karen, you know she suffers from faceblogittermomitis.

3) Stumbletasker [STUM- bull-task-ER] noun: This is a person, usually moms, who set out to do one task, but then stumble upon another. This is similar to a multi-tasker, but with much less intent and organization.

An example would be when one sets out to go fold the clothes in the dryer but on the way notices spilled juice on the floor. The stumbletasker would then forget the the original intent of the walk toward the dryer, abandon that task and instead head to the sink to get a rag for the juice. However, once said stumbletasker reached the sink, she then would notice the dishes in the sink and proceed to put them in the dishwasher and once said sink was emptied she would notice it needs to be scrubbed and then scrub it. At this point, she may decide it is time for a shower and the head in that direction. However, she then will stumble upon some clothes her children have left in the middle of the hallway. She will then walk to the laundry room and notice the juice again and so on. There is no way of knowing if the clothes in the dryer will ever get folded either that day or the next.

Sentence- It was unknown whether or not Penelope, an avid stumbletasker, would be able to get the dishes out of the dishwasher today.

4. Fragmomtation [FRAG-mom-tae-SHUN] noun: A way of speaking native to mothers that involves saying only half of a sentence. This is usually due to said mother trying to do and think about too many things at once while also trying to respond to an excessive amount of questions from her children. It might involve said mother's child asking, "Mom, can I have a juice." and the mother responding, "No, but you can have a..." leaving the child to have to decipher her fragmented answer. 

Sentence- Jen's fragmomtation had her children completely confused and they had no way of knowing whether or not it was okay for them to play outside or not.

5. Kidsponder [kid-SPAWN-der] noun: A child who has empathy for his mother's fragmomtation or merely wishes to get an answer out of her and attempts to assist her by supplying the rest of her sentences. If said mother responds, "No, but you can have a...", the kidsponder might say, "water?" 

sentence- That kidsponder must be a really bright child because he can finish all of his mother's sentences.
