The Edict of 1633


Anna is starting to plan how she will spend her upcoming bonus. She is talking about vacations and spas as she flips through the September issue of Vogue.

I know this threatens Max. He quite enjoys his place as self proclaimed fashion king and trend setter in the house. His talk about adding even more sumptuary laws to our household code of conduct just proves my point.

For now I am ignoring him. Anna earned her bonus and it is a nice break from the usual household conversations about F35 helmets and slow cooked pot roasts.

  1. sumptuary. what a fine word. is that, per chance, of Australian origin?

  2. According to Anna, it's Latin. Though, Max thinks it's just more of Anna's crazy Pig Latin.
