Tonight, after I had just said "island view" (code for "I love you") to Bear, she said, "Guess what my favorite thing is that you say?"
"Island view," I guessed.
"Yes," she said. "I also like 'wing na.' And 'egregious and Kathie Lee.'"
"Wing na" means "why not" and was originally inspired by the actress Ming-Na. I've been saying it for decades.
"Egregious and Kathie Lee" means "agreed." "Agree" became "egregious," which suggested [Live with] Regis and Kathie Lee.
After I wrote this, Jim said he invented the whole "Egregious and Kathie Lee" thing, so maybe I don't get all the credit for the quirky sayings being passed down to our offspring. But I love it.
