Twilight Talk

Lone Star Baby: It's dusk.

Lone Star Pa: (busy with some paperwork) Mmmm.

LSB: Animals that are crepusculous come out at dusk.

LSP: Mmmm.

LSB: Auntie Jazz says sharks are crepusculous.

LSP: Mmmm.

Lone Star Ma: (overhearing from next room) I think that's "crepuscular", Sweetie.

LSB: Oh. cre-pus-cu-lar.


(I'm pretty sure I learned that word within the last year and a half.)

Very true! I did. And then I read it in those William Gibson books I found out about through your husband's blog!
