Scene: The family is outside enjoying a gorgeous blue sky day. Hatch sits in front of the family with his nose to the wind sniffing studiously the 1001 smells dogs can smell in the air.
Grace observes: "Hatch is smelling his instink."
(pause)
Grace asks: "Mom? What's an instink?"
Mom proceeds to correct her child on the pronunciation of instinct, explains that it cannot be smelled, and defines to the best of her abilities the pull of instinct. Mom thinks instink has a lot of potential though, and would like to hear your definition of "Instink"...

BORN: OCTOBER 15TH, 2007
Our family would like to extend a giant thank you to everyone who has cheered us on over the last nine months and who in good sport participated in our "Name Hope" poll. We are thrilled to be able to finally share our newest blessing in full color.
AT THE CORE
One God, One Lord, One Family.
Eleven amazing years of marriage to one very talented and entrepreneur savvy Tom Builder, 3 homeschooled merry crumb crunchers and number four in the pressure cooker, one windfall business and another still waiting for the wind to fill its sails, and now, 12 acres of horse farm heaven waiting for our family to fix up, move in and call home.
Welcome to the wildly blessed world of The Knucker Hatches. Where two middle aged candles are always burning at both ends, and the projects never get finished...but everybody is thankful to be home.

Hmmm...Instink...wasn't that the name of that one boy band?? :-)
Instink: The phenomenon of a food tasting like what another thing smells like.
Used in a sentence: When I was younger, I loved the smell of coffee but the taste of coffee had the instink of cigarette ashes. Now that I have no choice but to drink coffee in order to survive in the morning I drown out the instink of coffee with a cup of flavored creamer.
Love the boy band definition. :)
