Best. Thing. Ever.
"THIS shade of yellow? It is, the best thing ever! Ever! In life!" exclaims N.
"I thought you said organic coconut milk shampoo was the best thing ever in life," he quips back.
When N gets excited about something (which in my experience is about once a week, if not more often) it almost always described in terms of: "the best thing ever."
Because we are not at all about the overstating of things.
My favorite thing about this superlative, is that N uses it so inclusively--any number of a dozen or more things can, and are, the "best thing ever" at any given moment in time. It isn't about picking a "best" among many, but about the sheer joy and excitement in whatever shiny object happens to be directly front of you.
So, new series: Best. Thing. Ever. Which is basically whatever I happen to be obsessed with at the moment.
This moment?
