You probably thought I was just a nut about life

I was messing around with some sidewalk chalk on our patio. I have an idea for a future header, so I wrote LIFENUT in an obnoxious shade of purple. As I prepared to snap a picture, Sam looked over my shoulder.

“I know what that says. It says LIH-FEN-UT.”

“LIH-FEN-UT?” I answered.

“It must be French? Like the French word for piglet, which is porcelet.”

He walked away, leaving me to consider if he was the only one who reads my title that way. Plus, where did he learn the French word for piglet?

Yes, dear readers. All this time you’ve been wrong.

LIFENUT is simply the French word for PATHETICALLY GRASPING FOR THINGS TO WRITE ABOUT.
