I started writing down words. First were the words crude, rude, argumentative, nasty or naughty, unkind and you. A day later I wrote these words: cross, angry and snappy. Then I decided to visit these feelings further and to find other words that might have similar meanings. I decided to consult a thesaurus. As I didn't have one I looked online and found www.dictionary.com with a link to a thesaurus. I then added these words to my list: antagonistic, nasty-tempered, abrupt. A day later I revisited the list and moving around the words found I was able to spell a word that kept coming to mind with some of the words on my list. I then came up with the following,
Cranky
Cross
gRouchy
Abrupt
sNappy
unKind
You

Post a CommentSo clever!
He's doing much better and has been very apologetic. I hate that he smokes. He had a lot of really bad stress at work that week too so it was not a good time to be quitting!
Very good, I hope you got those smokes now
