My first grandchild began speaking very early. One of her first “own” expressions that she used frequently, and accurately, was “seriously?” She used it appropriately and in many different situations. She would say it when she didn’t believe us, about anything. It was humorous on many levels. She could weave it into just about anything we said. The best part about it was her understanding the use of it. We would create things to say just to hear her say “seriously?” Because it made us laugh.
Now. I find myself frequently, and accurately, saying “seriously?”
Because I feel there are things being created just to make us say it.
But I’m not laughing.
Seriously.
Good one! 🙂

Seriously,
I’ve seen the universe through to the stars beyond.
I’ve seen the moon through the burning sun.
I’ve seen the ocean through the broken coral.
I’ve seen the earth open-up, swallowing the multitude whole…….(self)
Seriously

That’s how the light gets in”…….. Leonard Cohen

It is nice to hear, when kids learn to use the words in correct ways. About seriously, I do so much agree with you, Colleen.

Thank you Irene. We still say it the way she used to say it. But yesterday, what prompted me…I uttered “seriously” without even thinking and it just caught me.

I must agree, in the non-sarcastic sense of the word, I seriously agree with your assessment in today’s post.

Thanks MBM. There are just so many truly serious issues that I am flabbergasted by some things that are on the ‘news’ and deemed ‘newsworthy’. I didn’t write about what prompted this because I couldn’t believe it was even given attention considering all that is going on.

That’s so funny about your little one using that word! And I understand your ‘overuse’ of the word today! I hear myself saying all too often, “I just don’t understand how people…” and there you go! Some of what is going on, I will just NEVER understand.

You’re sentence is part of my common vocabulary. You and I must be in stereo “I just don’t understand how people…”

This was a great illustration, Colleen. I am so glad you had this smart grandchild who knew how to really understand the word, “seriously.”
The far out things, some very serious and others crazy, happening are like my worst nightmares!

Oh, this is a great one! I have been saying “literally” and “actually” a lot. There must be a show or something which has me on this strange path. I don’t have anyone who amuses me saying this as you have one who does. . . I like your loop and reason.
