Sometimes it is literally just a word, sometimes two, or more, but they don't always end up in the story, which I find really interesting.

It's why my housework is always half-done, my dinners are always burned, and why my kids complain when I spread yogurt on their toast and put globs of butter in their bowls for breakfast. Sigh.B.J.
