Wenis, the elbow

Speaking of Wenis, and I was, the pharaoh whose name is recognizable instantly by the desert hare, so you stop and look and sure enough the other glyphs prove it. There is next to the rabbit a zig-zag redundant "n," a plant frond, "i," and the folded linen "s."

There is also an English word, "wenis" that means the stretchy skin on the backside of the human elbow. 

When I looked for the cartouche in Google images this photo of a teen came up.

And that one eye of his is rather like an Egyptian of a certain era might draw it. But his braces are what stick out in the photo while they don't interfere with his tendency to smile. And his eyes don't match. I clicked over still thinking about the pharaoh Wenis and still wondering how this photo connects. But it doesn't connect.

His mother writes a page about wenis the elbow skin, this is her son who taught her the word in the most amusing way imaginable. 

But first she talks about the a book called the "five love languages" that I took for actual languages, imagining French, Spanish, whatever, but I was wrong. It's a book about psychology, children's psychology specifically and the author's five ways that children communicate love. She doesn't mention on her page, but those turn out to be

* quality of time

* words of affirmation

* acts of service (devotion)

For a change of pace, I urge you to skip over there and read Robin's story of how this young boy taught his mother a new word. Some things are just wrong. Very, very wrong ...
