“Everybody, chill!”
Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze in Batman & Robin
Well…
It seems many of you already know the word “chill.”
It seems it has entered the world’s vocabulary.
At least that’s what I learned from your comments.
So today, how about a new, very common forgotten word?
But something hopefully you don’t know….
SHOW VS TELL
I just got back from my weekly dance lesson (my new hobby).
I’m learning Argentinian Tango.
Today, my teacher was trying to explain how to speed up and slow down.
But I wasn’t getting it.
So I stopped her and asked her to show me.
“Ah, now I understand,” I said.
CRANKY
When do you need to chill?
How about, when you feel stressed?
Or exhausted?
How about when you’re cranky?
What’s “cranky” mean?
I’m not going to tell you!
Instead, do this: Google “cranky kid.”
And you’ll understand in a second.
Cheers,
Mr. Vig

I’m cranky, I’m tired, I’m worked hard at school…. now I’m chilling on my sofa.
