Niggle

Filed Under N 

This word describes my teenage son’s evening banter with me over his homework and chore responsibilities. He niggles. Masterfully. And kills a whole lot of time in the process… I now just use this single word in response to his banter and he immediately ‘gets it’ and stops.

    Have you ever read J.R.R. Tolkien’s story, “Leaf by Niggle”?
