Marshmallow?

(Uhm...best shot I could find?)

Really? Marshmallow? Not Marshmellow?

Marshmallow is the right way to spell that word, really?

I've always thought it was marshmellow. Marshmallow sounds kinda dumb, like you have a speech impediment and a Lichtensteinian accent, and you're 18months old and just learning to say longer words comfortably.

"May I have some marshmallows in my hot chocolate mom?"

"Only if you say 'marshmallow' again. You're so cute!!!!"

"Marshmallow."

"Awwwww.... Okay- now say umbrella."

Marshmellow sounds like whipped sugary goodness. Marshmallow sounds like a moon pie filling; kinda sketchy like the what are those hard pellets that occasionally were in Twinkies back in the 70's? Marshmallow, huh?

I wonder what else I've been wrong about with certainty for decades?

I'm still going to say "marshmellow" though, because "marshmallow" sounds dumb. And, "that's dumb" is the definitive end to any argument.

Oh- you disagree with me? Well, what you just said sounds dumb. (End of discussion.)

Good thing I wasn't on any debate teams when I was in school. I would have crushed them!
