Bread and water can so easily be toast and tea.

Since childhood I’ve been what my Mom always called a “worry wart”. I admire those friends who are optimists and who seem to take the many ups and downs of modern living in stride.
The Word Detective has some interesting facts about the definition of the term “worry wart”. For those of you who may never have heard the term and for a little word humor, you can check out their website here.
I hope you don't worry too much. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy Aunt Ida was the worry wart in our family. She worried all the time, especially about family members. I guess it didn't hurt her too much, considering she lived to just a few months shy of 96.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that quote about toast and tea!
ReplyDeleteI have heard the term worry wart! I try not to worry too much but sometimes we just can't help it.
Thanks for popping in to see me and have a wonderful 4th!
Be a sweetie,

My husband is a worry wart to a T!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty blog-I can't wait to visit again soon.
Best wishes for a wonderful weekend,
Natasha.
Oh, I love that! (But then I'm a language junkie.)
ReplyDeleteDarling you were called a worry wart and I was called a worrygut and truth be told, to this day I continue to be one. I envy those who simply ignore matters of worry. Have a blessed and lovely July darling.

Oh yes...a worry wart! My mother was definitely one, and I was, too, when I was younger, but I've learned..with age..to not "sweat the small stuff" as the saying goes! My 2 sons "kind of" inherited that trait, though, so I hope they too will outgrow it someday soon! I'll have to check out the site about the definition!
