An "Alycia-ism" is something my daughter says or does that make you wonder if we fed her lead paint chips as a child...or if you are a fan of Arsenio Hall think of it as "things that make you go...HUH?"
For example, the time she said, "mom...when I go on my honeymoon I think I'd rather go to Canada than Paris...I don't want to deal with French people".
or...the time she was straining a pot of pasta and told me the steam was fogging up her glasses...but I had to inform her she wasn't wearing glasses. Ugh, and she drives a vehicle!
Alycia-isms are also innocent sayings that pop into conversations or situations that don't fit in. Like the time I said goodbye to my parents before they left for Florida. The car was quiet...I was balling, Cassie was crying, hubby was stoic as usual...and then Alycia, while gazing out at the illuminated retail signs on Main Street, blurts out "oh look! Walgreens sells bacon!". Ah yes, see how it doesn't fit in? But it did make me laugh and that made me feel better.
So, if you find yourself in need of a quick laugh...or a way to draw awkward looks in your general direction...reach for an Alyica-ism*.
