Ichthyology

the science of fishes; that part of zoology which treats of fishes, their structure, form and classification, their habits, uses, etc.

that's what my dictionary says. my mom used this word last night in scattergories. i think it was for college major or something like that. none of us knew what it meant, but we let her have the point. it's a good thing that we did. i came in last place after my mom and rachel. rachel won. it was a fun game. it was also fun finding out a new word.

duh, doesn't everybody know what that ology is? I'm just kidding. Who can keep up with all the sciency names of ologies, osis, and phobias?

Did Mom know what it was or did she just know it was a study of something? I can't believe you got spanked like that. Are you losing your game?

I love scattergories, but I will often punish myself if I come in last place! I mean, I feel like I just got an "F" in English Class or something hahaha!

And I actually like the word Pilfer.... and Pillage. I actually use the word Pilfer on a regular basis! lol!
