Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.

The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day........

When Chelsea Clinton was a child, I knew she had some genetic defects. It took years, however, for me to realize she was truly a ritardando.

The ritardando in DNC fundraising may be due to a missing coda ethics!

The screaming, whining, and the noise of the Hopium Withdrawal and Trump Derangement Syndrome will go into ritardando once the swamp is drained.

I went here: (anyone else?)

“DGD and I were at the store, and she decided to treat the shopping cart as Rocket. We patted our way up and down the aisles, (pat pat pat pat blast off!!) and she was happy as can be, telling us to go ‘allegro’ and all that.

But as we approached the popsicle aisle and she started yelling ‘ritardando, ritardando’, I thought I’d die. 2 women in the frozen food aisle gave me the side eye, especially since DGD says it more like ‘retardo’.

I didn’t think the store manager would let me get on the loud speaker and explain the Little Einsteins, musical terms, and all that to the other shoppers”.

Clever, Panzer!

And on that note, I’d like to add this: repeat, because it gave me a trill.

I once dated a girl name Rita Ardando in high school. Unfortunately, it was a case of diminishing returns..
