#JusJoJan – January 8th, 2018 – Pants

Day eight of #JusJoJan!

I’m going to try to write on each of the prompts!

Today the prompt is:

Your prompt for January 8th, 2018, brought to you by the many-layered Pensitivity, is “Pants.” Use it any way you’d like in your post. And make sure you visit Pen at her blog, “Pensitivity101” to read her post and say hi! 😀 Here’s her link: https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/

Thanks, dear Pen!!

Pants.

That is how I feel this morning, actually!

Because I’m back at work today.

It should have been last Thursday, where I could have eased my way back into a new term with two INSET (staff training ) days, but because of the impromptu sick bug visit to our house, I was incapacitated, and unable to go in.

But that means back to the grindstone today… with all the children in too, and me feeling like a fish out of water, as I honestly don’t feel like I know what I am doing today!

It’s been a long time since I have felt so bleurgh about going back to work.

Hopefully, it’s just the post-holiday blues…

Oh well.

See you tomorrow, where I hope I will be able to tell you things are all just fine and dandy at school!

#SoCS Aug. 19/17 – Pant

Linda’s back with her #SoCS prompt AND a shiny new badge too!

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “pant.” Use one the word “pant” as is, or find a word with “pant” in it and base your post on it. Have fun!

Pants.

They are very confusing, aren’t they?

Well the understanding of the word on either side of the Atlantic varies slightly, and with that could come several uncomfortable situations!

You see, over here in good old Blighty, pants are the short term for underpants. Yes, that’s right, Underwear. Knickers, Y-fronts, thongs – PANTS.

Yet over in the US of Aaye, you loosely use the word to describe what we call trousers!

So if, in one of these tags, someone asks “What colour pants are you wearing?” you have to wonder at the nationality of the person who wrote the question. Are they truly interested in the style and design of your trousers, or is there a perverse desire to collect data on what type and colour smalls you are wearing?!

What if someone asks you to take your pants off… ? Which ones!?!

Pants – American folk over there – they are not trousers, they are undies!
