Dad

The daily prompt wants to know – What is the one word that describes you?

In a post titled Tough Question, I answered this with the word Considerate two years ago.

So, being they asked again I’ll try to pick another word that describes me. Well, it’s one word but I’m going to make it two. The answer would be Dad and Papa. I had no idea how important those words would be early in my life. But they are the things I’m proudest of in my lifetime.

I never got a chance to know if my father was proud of me as a son and father. I hope he is.

One word

What is one word that describes you? – Now that is a tough ask from the daily writing prompt.

I wonder which me they are asking about. Well, instead of my overly wordy answers to these questions I’ll keep today’s somewhat short.

I was going to go with “Kind” but I think I’ll choose “Considerate” because Kind sounded a bit arrogant and I can be less than kind if provoked.

Now that I think about it, my mother was the most considerate person I know. Always put others ahead of herself.

Tough Question

What is the one word that describes you? Asks the Daily Writing prompt.

Usually, these answers are quick to leap from my mind. Not today. One word left me searching for a few minutes. First I had to wake up, this was a tough question just to put down my first emotion this morning which was hangry. A mixture of hungry, and then angry.

So I consulted a list of positive and negative adjectives. I’m guessing everyone could look at that list and pick many from both. For instance, I consider myself smart, but I’ve done stupid things. I must have picked about a dozen on the first pass through the list. Yes, some negative ones also. Yeah, I’m flawed.

How do you pin someone down to one word when we are a complex of many adjectives? But then again what an exercise it is. What is the best description of yourself in one word? It gets down to the importance of a word and its meaning. It makes you think.

I’ll go with the word – Considerate – to describe me.
