I just redesigned the fanpage to fit the timeline layout and I’ve been doing a lot more there than just posting links to Mommy Shorts. If you missed Monday’s post and have any more mispronounced words to add, please do so below. Everyone was silent for a moment, until I turned to the boy and said “That’s right, Frank, FLAGS!” Then they all started laughing and screaming “FLAGS FLAGS!” Thank god for everyone’s sense of humor!” To my horror, the little boy I was watching pointed to the flags and screamed “FLAG!” (but without the “L”).

However, there are other adverbs we can use to give additional emphasis to the extreme adjective: With extreme adjectives, we CANNOT use these adverbs:
