Tea Bag Words of Wisdom


Bube inspired me to look for words of wisdom tonight. I found this one and also discovered something in the process. It turns out that Zee (more so than Atom) LOVES Yogi Scenna Tea bags. He went completely nuts -- kind of like a cat might on catnip only a LOT more noticeably! I actually had to take the tea bag away because he was wrestling with Atom so much. Maybe Zee knows how to read tea bag messages and takes them to heart!

My tea bag this morning reads "Keep up."

I am so pleased "Morning Routine" has spawned children.

What I like about this one is its double meaning.

In eleven words, explain meaning one. In thirty-one words, explain meaning two. The meaning you choose to be one should be the one you have the most to say about.

This is the world's first exercise in "nefinitions," where n stands for the number of words in a definition.

"Keep up" meaning #1 -

An expression for staying positive in the midst of a challenge.

"Keep up" meaning #2 -

An expression, as from a coach, for seeking to gain ground when one is behind, as in a race where the competition is strong.

Your "nefinitions" are excellent and correspond to the meanings I had in mind. However, your second "nefinition" contains 7 too few words (we wanted eleven words for one of them and thirty-one for the other). You are hereby awarded a score of (11+24)/(11+31) = .83333
