Last weekend the nieces spontaneously decided to make a volcano in the backyard

(We don't know where they got that idea.)

I didn't find out about the real volcano erupting until a day or so after it happened (and I refuse to try either to spell or pronounce it, I'll just keep calling it "That volcano in Iceland that recently erupted" until it's no longer recent), but I did tell the nieces about it.

Ana: A volcano? Really? REALLY? I thought volcanoes were all in the past!

At any rate, I wonder why I didn't hear about the volcano sooner. Did I hear about it and not pay attention?

Eyjafjallajökull

O.o

Yup, I think I will call it "that word I couldn't say if my life depended on it".

(I don't watch the news, and don't read much of it. Too many friends and family deployed ATM for it to be worth it to me)

Apparently it's a compound?

Its a word/name that I know no matter how many times I try to say it, I will say it WRONG.
