Conversation between me and my oldest son …
Me: Are you going to eat supper with me tonight?
Son: No, I’m already unthawing some sausages.
Me: You know “unthawing” means freezing, right?
Son: …
Me: That’s it. From now on it shall be known not as the freezer but as the unthaw-er.
Son: Yeah, yeah.
I have way too much fun at my kids’ expense.
If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure. To execute a pingback, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post, and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.
NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, like Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.
Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”
The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!
5. Have fun!

I still catch myself saying that sometimes. “Hey, can you take the chicken out to unthaw?” My husband just looks at me like I spoke Mandarin. Glad I’m not the only one! 😉

Good point about “unthawing”. I am going to have to watch how I use that word. 🙂 Whenever I hear the word “thaw” I think it only goes one way.

Your comment made me look “unthaw” up in the dictionary. It’s there! This is what it says:
“NOTE: Although unthaw as a synonym of thaw is sometimes cited as an illogical error, it has persisted in occasional use for more than four centuries. It occurs in both American and British English.”
Interesting!
