Admittance

The Word of the Day for March 27 is "admittance."

admittance: (noun) The right to enter.

Synonyms: access, entree, admission, accession

Usage: Anyone who picked an apple gained admittance into the golden castle, and there in a silver room sat an enchanted Princess of surpassing fairness and beauty.

Relevance to my Life: My kids labor under the misconception that since they are my flesh and blood, they needn't ask for admittance when I seek "special quiet time." Cloaked with a child's self-entitlement, they burst in on me fearlessly, asking, "Mommy, where are you? What are you doing? Are you peeing or pooping?"
