Sagacity

Matthew and I have a game we play and have played since he was a child....
Almost every time we see each other....(Matthew is in his third year of college now)....we bring up a ‘new word’ to see if the other knows what it means....Matthew liked to shock me when he was 10,11, 12 etc.
Words like diaphragm, condom etc. entered our game....
Over the years I have faithfully and truthfully given my southern definitions without embarrassment at all.
It is getting harder and harder to find a word unknown to Mattie C.....
......Often now he ‘stumps’ me.....since he is so ‘learned‘...
But you see....Mattie C....My Seniority Baby....has what I call....
...Quiet Intelligence.
He listens a lot, observes others closely and sees things that others miss.
Yet if you met Matthew as a stranger you would think that he was just the most charming sweet mannered young man ever.
Hah!
Last night at Bennigan’s during a family celebration.....Chad took advantage of Matthew to sneak a trick on him while he was unaware....
Upon leaving while we are all hugging and kissing good-bye, Matthew gets even with Chad.....not so quietly.
So my word for Matthew is now.....S A G A C I T Y.
.....Meaning....The quality of being discerning, sound in judgment, and farsighted; Wisdom......
Matthew has.....Sagacity.
