Missing in Action

I have become aware that for some reason the meaning of a number of words have left the brains of my children. I am not a doctor so I don't know how something like this could happen. They are smart children and have a rather large vocabulary, making this hard to understand. It has been suggested that at some point the possibility they had been abducted by aliens or have been replaced by evil clones.

With all the words in their vocabularies they have lost ones that cause the most frustration and they have all lost the meanings at the same time. This makes me think that they were all replaced at the same time by evil clones.

Some of the words meanings that have gone missing include "quiet", "flush", "stop" and "behave" You can imagine the problems these missing words can cause, especially "flush". It has probably caused us the most heartache.

I have searched under their beds, in their toy boxes and closets but have been unable to find them. Of course these words and others could have fallen out of their heads at school while on the playground or some unknown government agency have put some kind of mind block on them for some unnecessary and insidious plot complication.

Whatever the reason, we need to find a cure or way to reinsert these words and others in the future that may turn up missing. We have already tried several different methods with no success. The Internet is full of ways to achieve our goal, but I am worried about possible long term side effects. There has not been any long term studies on these different methods. We don't want anything bad to happen to our children.

My wife and I welcome any suggestions you might have for the safe return of these words to our children's brains, especially "flush".
