Does anyone else ever get tired of hearing this quote from every parent you meet? I'm sure I've heard it ten times this week already.
"There's never a dull moment in this family!"
That's so boring! Let's recreate it with some choice synonyms.
"There's never a bromidic, colorless, commonplace, interminable, stodgy, or well-worn moment in this family!"
Now doesn't that grab your attention? Why reuse a dull line to describe the opposite of dullness? I'm sure Cyrano de Bergerac would never have done so.
Hmmmmm . . . I have to admit, there are "commonplace" moments in this family. I happen to be a fan of the bromidic, colorless, commonplace, interminable, stodgy, well-worn . . . and boring moments. They are the fabric of our lives.
ReplyDeleteYou say I didn't get your point? Well, that's because I'm boring.
I was thinking that without the colorless and commonplace...I'd never get a nap!
