I have a friend who developed a habit
of calling anything and everything "cute" in our last year of high
school. She's in the same college as me but not in the same class so you would
think that her influence would have minimized over time. But no! Friends,
especially good friends, change you and not always for the saner. So now I go
around, generously spreading the word “cute” and “stupid” (well that is my
addition) everywhere.
If somebody is idiotic, I say cute. If
somebody is peculiar, I say cute. If people infuriate me, they are definitely
“stupid”. And it goes on and on. Can you imagine someone using the same two
words all the time as if they never really attended their English classes after
the age of six? I do because I am that person.
You would think that my habit might
have rubbed on people around me but it is not so. Their response to me every
time is a combination of choice words, aptly showing their annoyance. Guess
habits are not that contagious except for the time when I am there.
So I am making a sort of resolution to
expand my vocabulary. If you don’t believe me, check my phone. I downloaded a
dictionary app last week. So now I’ll be going around saying adorable and
bonkers and other cool words. :)
