Nails (1 Comment)

One would normally think of nails as the things pounded into boards by hammers.  In our household that understanding would leave you confused. The other definition would be the things on the ends of fingers and toes- which would make a little more sense when KJ says she doesn’t want her nails cut.  But you would still be thinking of the wrong body area.

Here, nails  means bangs.

Henry: Bathroom at one end of the house by three bedrooms. So named because I got tired of calling it “The Boy’s” bathroom because, someday, all three kids will room at that end.

Black Ear: Master Bathroom. That’s what it sounds like when KJ says it- I think she means “back here”.

Now you know, if you ever visit.
