Okay, okay I may already know what the actual definition of an inkling is but I only ever hear it from people over 60 y.o.a., mainly from my AMAZING grandma. So by most definitions it means a slight hint or indication. I mean I guess I get "inklings" about different things but I never use this word so when I hear it applied to me it makes me giggle. I know I am weird, we have already established that.
I've heard this term at various stages in my life, either applied to situations involving me or someone I am close to. For some reason even though I know what it means whenever I hear it I picture a fancy ink pen with a smaller (baby) version of itself (an inkling...ya get it?!). Stop laughing...okay laugh it up, because it makes me smile too. Then I start to wonder where I can obtain one of these adorable inklings and I end up smiling like a fool and people stare at me like I need to be medicated.
Where did this come from, you may ask? Well the other night I went to hang out with my fam for Halloween. I helped the g-ma hand out candy and had kids young and old tell me how awesome my costume was. Yes, I am an adult and I was in a costume, I love Halloween, don't judge! And I was informing all the older ones around me what all the kiddies were dressed as because they had no clue. One of my favs was this adorable little girl, maybe 7 or 8 dressed as a witch, with green face and a broom. My cousin was like are you from Wicked??? I said are you Elphaba??? And she said yes and her sister was dressed as Glinda and I was done. I was like everybody go home, this adorable little girl wins Halloween! Wow talk about getting off topic.
Back to my story about inklings (hehehehe). I poured a cup of daiquiri but didn't drink much. I wasn't feeling 100%, as in I think I was starting to get sick (which I am sick now so yuck!). Then later in the night I drank a lot of Iced Tea. The next day I was going to pick up lunch and my cousin texted me. She said "g-ma, thinks you're pregnant...she has an "inkling", hahaha". I was in McAllister's waiting for food and did the stupid smile thing when I read inkling...I think the waitress thought I was mental. What makes this even more strange is we are kinda trying. Like not officially counting and taking temps but we aren't preventing. So then I was like holy shit g-ma is psychic. Not that I think I am preggo, I am just not well at the moment...like fever and everything. But now I am like, what if I am...what if she just sensed something different about me...she had an inkling...how the hell does that work??? What kind of sorcery is this?!?
So now I feel like I need to go on a quest to find a baby fancy pen so that I can have my very own "inkling" and then maybe I'll be able to be psychic too!
I think my fever took my weirdness to a whole new level today...time for me to sign off.
