Wednesday's Word

Scheme, noun. A large-scale systematic plan for attaining some particular object.

Emeline's usage: Holden and his evil schemes.

When I heard her say it, I couldn't believe that she actually knew the word. I figured she just heard it on TV and was repeating it. So I questioned her as to what a scheme was and to my surprise she answered me correctly. "A plan", she said. Exactly! And she hit the nail on the head in reference to Holden. He always cooking something up to get her goat.
