Please forgive us if the title sounds a little fancy. It simply means: Home, Sweet Home. And before you judge us for being condescending, ostentatious, arrogant or pompous, let us explain. We have this ailment called 'Vocabititis'. (Symptoms include: bouts of using fancy words, being the go-to dictionary in your friend circle and suddenly being able to read Sir Patrick Leigh Fermor minus the constant word searches on Google). Simply put, since the inception of Easy Vocab, our vocabulary has become ... err... supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! (Darn, again!)
Remember as a kid when your wore your favorite pajamas one day and suddenly they were only shin high? (Funny how it miraculously just takes one fine evening to grow "short")! Or when you wore that (much-hated) dress shirt before leaving for your Aunt's housewarming party and were pleasantly surprised to find that the sleeves ended a little short of your wrist (Now I can wear my awesome superhero costume! YES,THERE IS A GOD!). Or maybe you've encountered such funny, awkward moments in life, as a parent. Either ways it's a very comforting hassle, isn't it? Growth brings its own worries, its own musings, it's own expectations and its own bothers but, is always welcomed with a remedial pomp and cheer. Growth is the quantifiable assurance that success is hovering around us like fruit flies around a banana.
So what does this have to do with moving to a new home? (Have these guys gone absolute bonkers?) No. We have not! It's true that we always lacked a few screws, but that's a completely different story. We're here as happy (and concerned) parents. Our little kid, Easy Vocab has not just outgrown his messy diapers but has, ahem, outgrown our bloody damn house! So he's decided to move out, find a place of his own and work out of there. Well, just another teenage story, you may say. But, here's the catch- He's all of just 6 MONTHS! See why we're concerned! In the last 6 months he's had over 280,000 views (more than that orangutan baby, HAH!) and more than 3,000 subscribers (more than that kangaroo joey, BOOM!) on youtube. Not just that, he's an awesome application too with over 10,000 downloads! (More than that pet a panda baby application, Woohoo! Actually we secretly love that app) And, needless to say, we're overjoyed parents! :D

But as the cheesy superhero saying goes, with great competence comes great obligation (darn, it's the Vocabititis again!). So is the case with Easy Vocab. His overwhelming success has brought about the need to sustain his own strategy and course of action. He keeps mentioning about how his life is entwined with the digital world (and something about how the rent is much lower in cyberspace too!). He says how he needs to "share" his videos with the community, display his "words of the week" (frankly that's a little too much for a 6 month kid, but que sera sera) and constantly "tweet" his musings (this we downright opposed, but he flipped us the bird!). So he's moving to not one, not two but THREE new homes (these kids and their lives, I say!). Here are the addresses, please do pay him a visit!
1. Facebook
2. Twitter
3. Google +
Well, as any concerned parents, we'd love to hear from you regarding our Easy Vocab. Tell us if you like his new home(s), if he's sharing the right stuff and whether he's living up to his reputation as a Last-Bencher!
