Another Thought on Language

I know; my blog audience is not really keen on my language observations, but it has been three weeks and that's all aI have at this point. Yesterday Natalie put a room temperature water bottle in the refrigerator. After maybe ten minutes she checked but it still was not cool. Less than five minutes later she impatiently checked again, and exclaimed to the still-too-warm bottle, "C'mon! Colden up!"
I asked her about the made up word and suggested she use "cool down" instead but she said that didn't really capture what she meant. She wanted it to colden up. OK. I guess the dictionary of the future just got a new entry.
