Word-Wise. Distrait

from JoeUser Forums

I love words.  As I get older though it seems like I am starting to lose them bit by bit.  So I subscribed to a "word of the day" email.

I will share the wealth with JU!  If you wanna respond, find a way to use the word in a sentence.  The more creative, the better.

(This is a little trick I use when I have writer's block.  Pick a word and then expound on it.)

So without further ado...today's word.

I am distrait while driving if both my kids are yellking.  (Yellking is my word for talking and yelling at the same time.)

I was going to think of a sentence...but damnit this is too funny to even attempt to follow.

Wow, what a day. I mean I really need a martini after what I have witnessed. I saw a distrait mom driving along the road in a van swerving because she was yelling at her kids. If that wasn't bad enough, a block further down the road I saw a grown man hopping up and down on one booted foot because the other was straight up the ass of some young man. Jeez, what a day!

Great word, distrait.

I sat in the doctor's surgery, in a particularly distrated state because I expected to hear the worst.
