Easter weekend consists of many things, one being the family all reuniting for a few hours. I have an older cousin who since I was a little girl, made it clear she was older than me with a large vocabulary. So being the girl I am, I would gather up huge words to hit her with during the holidays. Only problem? I didn't use them correctly... at all! Here are some words to remember, and use correctly, while busting them out this Easter weekend.
