The name kind of evokes a little bit of apprehension, doesn't it? The Bossy E... I mean, it could stand for anything. For example, consider the Bossy Evil-doer. I'd really rather not meet that person face to face. Or perhaps, the Bossy Evangelical... equally terrifying if you ask me. The possibilities are simply endless...
The Bossy
Event Planner,
Earwig,
Earthquake,
Easter Bunny,
Embryo,
Economist,
Elephant,
Emperor [penguin?],
Enchanter...
The list goes on and on... but I'll stop.
In reality, the Bossy "E" is the letter than tells the "A" what to do. Get it?
You see, I never know how to spell scared/scarred. Which one is it? I could say that I'm either frightened or that my wound left it's trademark on my knee... but its just easier to either write scared or scarred.
I was discussing this with my teacher friend Carrie... and she taught me about the Bossy E. The Bossy E tells the A to say itself... you know, like "hey" except really its "A"...
Therefore, I now know that my left knee is scarred from a past turf burn and that dark, creepy places make me scared.
But, you know what... now that I'm writing this, I don't get it. Because it actually is all about the Rs... not the As. Somehow though, I now know that scarred has two Rs and that scared only has one R.
Well, I guess that still makes Carrie a good teacher because I at least remember which is which... I just don't remember why. Dangit! Oh well, we'll blame it on my bad memory because let's be honest here... I have a terrible memory... seriously terrible people. Sometimes I feel like I have early onset of Alzheimer's.
Alas, I won't let it scare me... I mean frighten... lest I confuse you again.
