April swears she doesn't actually have OCD.
She says she has flavors of OCD.
Despite evidence to the contrary.
Like how picture frames have to line up perfectly.
Or white shirts need to hang on white hangers.
The camera and all its "parts" need to be in a zip lock bag and stored in the "technology drawer" in the hallway chest.
Today I decided (and informed her) that she has more than just FLAVORS of OCD.
"Well, I don't have full features of it!" she said. "I mean, it would be fine if I did, there's nothing wrong with it. But I don't."
"Fine, Apes. You have more than flavors of it and not quite features of it. What you have is fleatures of it."
That's what she has. Not flavors, not features.
Fleatures.
I'm wicked good at finding the middle ground when it comes to relationships and April's disorders.
Just ask her.

A feavor of fleatures, oh my.
Just stoppin' by to say hello!
Terri: She's taken her "fleature" diagnosis to a whole new level today. We're reorganizing the living room and it spawned this entire conversation...
heather... you've got to be careful when you say "spawn".. reminds me of rapid multiplication.. i.e the thousands of eggs a mama frog spawns..
I hope it just ended with the concoction of "fleature" and not into anything else! ahhaha!
Did you ever tell her about the woman in Australia who's quoting her? You're both catching on Internationally!
Hmmm, flavors of OCD?? Is that like an alcholic saying they don't have a drinking problem???
lynnette: LOL. April has such a "thing" about fleas spawning that if I read her comment to you, she'd stay in the shower for three days. No lie :)
Emily: I did tell her she was a rock star - of the flavor variety. She got all bashful and cute like. I hope you Australians will add "fleature" to your vocab now...grin.
Thumper: EXACTLY!
