Today's Word is Viable

Today’s word is “Viable”. Here is how it works!

Let’s say that you want to grow some corn in your garden during the summer. The problem is that you don’t really feel like it. You hate the digging, the planting, the watering. The weeding blows. And you don’t even like corn that much. To be honest about it you’d rather grow nothing at all even though you really like the idea of looking like a great gardener to everyone, especially to other gardeners. If you had to grow something, you’d much rather grow something easy, like weeds.  Anyway, if the people that live at your house want some damn corn, then let them go and plant some! SO what to do?

Here is what you do. Use the word “Viable”. What does Viable really mean? It means “I want to go swimming in my pool.” Surprised aren’t you Boys and Girls? Yes, words can be tricky. So, here is how it works.

When someone asks you, “Are you going to plant some corn soon so that it grows and we can harvest it and enjoy every sweet kernel?”, you just answer, “No. Corn is not a viable crop”, which really means, “No, I am going swimming in my pool.” See? Isn’t that nifty?

And how about this: “Will you take the trash out tonight?” Answer: “No, taking the trash out is not a viable activity”. Then go swim in your pool and let the trash pile higher and higher and higher until one day, someone else will have to come and clean it up for you!! Wow. Words are so much fun aren’t they Boys and Girls??

Now it’s time to practice on your own and use the Viable in a sentence. See how you do. If you get really good at it, one day you can move into a really big house with a nice swimming pool and live there for FREE!! Words are so much fun!!

Tomorrow’s word is “Compromise”. I’ll bet you can hardly wait to learn how a word that big word works!
