I was just talking to one of the moms at school, and she taught me a new word...

Estivation: It's the opposite of hibernation. Instead of sleeping during the winter, creatures that estivate sleep during the summer.

I admit that the first thing that popped into my head when I heard that word was a scene of everything slowly turning into miniature versions of Emilio Estevez. I almost blurted out my bizarre thought during the conversation (I often blurt things out), but today I stopped myself. I didn't stop myself because I was worried that anyone would think that I was weird (I'm fully aware that I'm weird and deserve a confused look here and there from other people). I stopped myself because I suddenly felt very ashamed that the depth of my mind sometimes only goes as deep as the Breakfast Club. Maybe something in me is still subconsciously trapped in high school.

Now remember, kiddos, you need to use the word estivation in a sentence today because big fancy words make you seem smart.

Here's my sentence...
I wish extremely overweight people who like to wear bikinis in public would estivate during the summer.
