Brownie Brownie Brownie Brownie

Brownie? Sure! Frosting? What? I mean the kind you eat. I thought you meant the other brownie. The baby girl scout? No. Which one? The elf-like garden helper gnome-like creature. I could use a brownie to help me collect walnuts. Brownie. A seven-letter word. Common. Also the name of one of my all-time favoritest dogs. Four connotations for me, maybe five or six for others. All connotations to me for the word ‘brownie’ are wonderful. Every one of them makes me smile. How many other words do this? Not many. Brownie. Brownie. Brownie. Brownie. I cannot stop!

I was a brownie scout; when my Mom first proposed the idea to me; briefly, the garden brownie popped into my head. Well, I was small and short enough to be one...but, I wasn't much on gardening at that age. Luv it.

When I hear "brownie" I immediately think of all 4. Weird.

I was in Brownies as a little girl, never had a pet named Brownie, but the baked good is absolutely my favorite (with nuts of course!)

Man, I do want a brownie now. I had pushed off from the idea, but it is churning in my mind at 11:24 p.m. Luckily, stores are open.
