Can't wait to try this

I just learned that no word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, and purple. One day I'm going to use this to my advantage.

Scenario:

Finley will ask, "Mom can I eat candy for dinner, or sleep over at Lucy's on a school night, or can I get my tongue pierced, or a tatoo of a circus clown... " or some other request warranting and automatic no from me, and a reactionary melt down from her.

Well instead of saying, "NO are you crazy!?!" I'll just ask her to rhyme a real word with the words month, orange, silver, and purple. Then she can do as she pleases.

It's fool proof!

I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to think of words that rhyme. I'll take your word for it!
