So many U words, and not a single one has given me an idea for today’s post. I looked up Unctuous and Ubiquitous because they sound cool (nothing). I asked my older son to brainstorm U words with me. We came up with 27 in a few minutes. Unity seemed a good topic, or Utopia, but my mind went blank at the hugeness of either. I promised to not write about Underwear.
I meditated on the idea that the word Ugly should never apply to a person’s physical appearance since none of us get to choose our looks in the first place, and really, what’s gained by calling anyone ugly strictly based on appearance? Hurt feelings? Hrmph. I considered writing about how inheriting my mom’s orange Umbrella has caused me to take cover from the rain more often.
I spent much of my childhood Upside down, and still like to stand on my head and make my legs dance, as a party trick, but there isn’t much more to say on that. Every blade of grass and every other thing in the Universe is Unique. Cool, but my brain isn’t giving me a post’s worth of words in that direction either.
Alas, though we came up with such gems as Underdog, Ultimate, Udder, Uphill, Untied and Umbilical, I’m Undecided. So this is all there is.
