Meanly

The word of the day for September 22 is "meanly."

meanly: (adverb) In a miserly manner.

Synonyms: humbly

Usage: They lived meanly and without ostentation

Relevance to my life: Natalie and Lucy cried out in protest at how meanly I doled out the dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets, whose number in the package from the Perdue factory was already fairly meager, further evidence of my firm status in their eyes as the Meanest Mommy in the Entire World, nay... the Entire Universe.

Ahh, kids. I tell them - as my dad told me- that it builds character.

Side note: I am working on another blog (non-dictionary-like) for the day. Are you as excited as I am? :p
