Emosheroll

Eric has learned that there are bad words and there are good words.  To make sure he doesn't get reprimanded for a bad word, I get asked quite often about words that catch his attention, but he doesn't know what they mean.  His current obsession is Horton Hears A Who.  Cute little movie.  With the exception of the word "boob" it's not too bad.  But he picked up a couple of new words from the movie today and wanted to know about them.

Mommy?  What is 'gourd'?

 Gourd?

Yes.

I don't know (I DO know..but didn't know in what context it was being used on the movie)

Is gourd a bad word or a good word?

It's a fine word.

Oh.

Mommy? What's 'emosheroll'?

E-moe-sure-roll?

Yes.

Honey, I have no idea what emosheroll is.

Is it a good word or a bad word?

I suppose it's fine.  *pause*  EMOTIONAL?

Yes!  Emosheroll!  Is that a good word or a bad word?
