GERPLEX
Only a few selected people know what this is. As I was telling one of my dear friends about the "Josh" lingo...they thought this word was unique. Let me explain.....our son Josh is Autistic and has some cool wording for foods. For instance, Lama juice (aka...his water container with liquid), some school officials do believe Josh needs to use the word "Beverage" for this...hahah...You parents out there...what child about 4-6 asks for a drink using the word Beverage...RIGHT! Nope, I stuck with Josh and he still calls it Lama Juice or just a drink. Then Gerplex...oh wow...he came up with this one on his own...It's a mixture of candies that Grammy actually started when she visits us. She would graciously leave the bag and I put it in a container. One day, Josh pointed to it and said he wanted the gerplex... (aka...mixture of mike n' ikes, hot tamales, skittles, m&m's..you get the idea) It was such a coool word, that we all call it that...Josh is a genius! So there you have it....Gerplex...cool word, meaning yummy candie!

Well be sure to provide me with some Gerplex at camp! Don't forget the skittles either!

I need to make some gerplex! I think the only problem with it is that I will eat way to much of it! Thanks for the visit! I so enjoyed seeing you!
We are thinking of using gerplex in some candy machines we've inherited. Love the word Josh, very original.
Ah Gerplex :) brings back summer memories of the grandkids annual movie day with Grammy's special gerplex bags for each of us!
