TuPPerware

OK. I have been told by multiple persons (who will remain nameless at this time) that tupperware was spelled incorrectly in my previous post. Usually, I utilized the spell check feature, but I forgot yesterday. I am embarrassed that not only did I spell tupperware wrong, but I have been pronouncing it wrong for my whole life (or at least as long as it has been a part of my vocabulary). I had no idea. Why has no one told me before now? So, I am now aware that it is tuPPerware and not tuBerware. Thanks to everyone who let me know the error of my ways.

I noticed, but decided not to say anything. I guess I should have, though, because I know how it feels to realize you've been mispronouncing a word for my whole life: enter "pomagranate."

Hunter knows what it's like, too, only he doesn't listen when folks show him the error of his ways: enter "Vienna."

Love, love.

Aww, Em, I can sympathize. Kyle and I got in a little...umm...misunderstanding about the word "wheelbarrow." Yes, I have thought for my whole life that it is in fact a "wheelbarrel" (a barrel on wheels). I know. How did I just think that everyone else was mispronouncing that word? Anyway, I love your blog. And William is adorable. I have got to come and see him again soon!
Love,
Jenn

well, in actuality...It's only Tupperware if it's really Tupperware and my guess is that most of your stuff is not actual Tupperware but some other brand of plasticware...rubbermaid, gladware, etc. So you can call it whatever you want. Tuberware sounds good to me. :)
