Who’s In Charge Here

My adult son, aka “The Boy,” works for a company that provides curriculum for schools across the nation. Recently, he got a message from a colleague, describing some problem, and she ended her communication with this: “What would be your thoughts for solutioning this.”

Here’s my reaction:

In another incident, The Boy was also told at a meeting that he and his colleagues needed to “excavate the learning” from some research.

It’s enough to make me nostalgic for my old days whining about turning the noun “journal” into the verb “journaling.”

I’m happy to report that in communicating these outrages, The Boy has now identified as a junior curmudgeon.

This makes me proud, as I am the Curmudgeon-in-Chief.
