The one thing I don’t like about summer is the lack of pockets—I can’t easily carry my phone around, so it thinks my lack of steps means I’m lazy. Oh, and mosquitos. I don’t like mosquitos, so that’s two things.
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, 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!

My reasons exactly! No pocket space and of course mosquitoes (awful creatures). Well, here’s mine for this week! https://brendasrandomthoughts.wordpress.com/2026/05/21/one-liner-wednesday-dont-waste-the-day/

Valid summer complaints. I basically live in two pairs of athletic shorts I bought years ago — they’re the only ones I own with pockets deep enough I can comfortably carry my phone and that’s priceless.

The mosquitos wouldn’t be nearly as bad if they didn’t carry so much disease these days!

I’m with you on both, Linda! The Skeeters are eating us alive and the shorts that are the most comfy have no pockets. Ugh!

The reason I haven’t purchased a bigger phone is because I want one that slips easily into my pockets. Sorry about those mosquitos though. Those are just awful.

I mostly despise the HOT temps…I have 7 fans, it’s like a wind tunnel so I can barely hear myself think…which wouldn’t be so bad, except that now and again I actually have a good, productive thought!😉
