New Blanket Term For Fail

(I am crocheting at the library and a boy about four or five stands beside me and watches. He is being very good about not touching and just watching politely, so I don’t mind.)

Boy: “Ma’am, what are you doing?”

Me: “I’m crocheting a blanket for a friend’s baby.”

Boy: “Oh, may I watch?”

Me: *completely charmed by such a polite child* “Sure.”

(After a bit his mom calls him and he runs up to her.)

Boy: “Mom! That lady is… is… cro-s**ting!”

(I had just screwed up an easy part three times in a row so he had no idea how right he was. That is now my go-to word when I can’t get a piece to work!)
