pe·dan·tic (p-dntk)
adj.
Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for book learning and formal rules: a pedantic attention to details
Hayden's a smart guy, and he likes to read, but he's no "saucy pedantic wretch." (Thanks to John Donne's "The Sun Rising" for that phrase.)

Auntie Mary loves words, and she loves her family, so here she smushes the two together. A thing of beauty. Her words come from her reading and from her brain, unless otherwise noted, and her definitions come from the free online dictionary at http://www.thefreedictionary.com, again unless she says differerently.
