Happy St. Patrick's Day as evidenced by the title! Now I have no idea what to say... Umm... Here, have a lobster that I drew for you. It's not exactly related, but I think that it's good enough.
Hey, I just thought of a charmingly ambiguous phrase I thought you would appreciate. (If you don't, tough; you're the one who got me started on this.) It's "wind [or wound] up being..."
See, one way you can wind up being something is by becoming that thing, after a time of being something(s) else. ("After all the years doing this and that, she wound up being...") Another is by ceasing to be that thing, concluding your time at that thing. So, for example, you can wind up being a college student by entering college, and then wind up being a college student by leaving college.
Maybe it's a lobstrachaun!
ReplyDeleteI like the bright green letters--very festive!
Doubt it.
DeleteThanks you!
Lovely lobster!

Excellent! I always like bizarreities of english (or if I don't, I'll say I do) so feel free to tell me any intelligence you upearth about grammar.
DeleteInteresting observation. There is also being "wound up," as in tense or upset or wired or such.
ReplyDeleteWhich state you can also achieve by entering college.
