A brief note about our blog title...

You may be quietly pondering why the word "BUGE" is in our title. You may think we made a mistake and that we meant to put huge but mistyped and never noticed. The story goes much deeper than a mere mistyping.

During the school year, my co-worker Julie told me that one of her students had mentioned that the dictionary was going to add the word "ginormous," which is a combination of gigantic and enormous. What an odd concept to add this made-up word, right? Well, Jenn and I thought we could come up with a much better slew of combinations and proceeded to make them up as we drove to get frosties. We decided that "buge," a combination of big and huge, was a great word that would work in many capacities...such as, "Wow, we almost got into a BUGE accident." or "What a BUGE dessert that is!" etc etc. You get the idea. And thus, the derivation of our title. We teachers are pretty witty. :)
