It's interesting to me that something out of the blue will trigger my childhood memories. Today I wrote a reply to a friend in Spain and used the word "Awesome". Now, I think this is a funny story, you may not.
When I was in third grade (age 8) I didn't know what the words "totally" or "awesome" meant. And apparently no one else in my class did either. We knew that people were conversing with them and we felt compelled to use the words too. So I decided at recess one day that we would use "totally" and "awesome" as code. We must have been playing some form of tag because "totally" meant to run away from the tree and "awesome" meant regroup at the tree. The game only lasted 10 minutes, but the use of the words (per my new definitions) caught on. Oh to be young again.
