Thrilled

Mallory brought a Fancy Nancy book home from the library today; if you’ve never read a Fancy Nancy book before, you wouldn’t know that throughout the book, Fancy Nancy introduces many fancy words (and tells you what the fancy word means).

One of the words tonight was “thrilling” and it was explained as “more exciting than exciting!”.

Mallory asked what that meant. As an example I told her I was “thrilled” that Michigan beat Ohio State last year.

She said back: “I am thrilled that we’ve won almost all of our games except against Alabama.”

And in a conspiring voice she leaned close and told me: “Nathan R said Alabama is really good.”.
