Twittering with Violet

Our ThenVioletSaid Twitter account has slowed down considerably.  That is not to say she talks less.  Oh no.  In fact, she talks so much more, I can’t usually fit the conversation into a tweet.

In any case, here is a sampling of Violet-isms from the past few months.  Back by popular demand:
