What Do the Steelers and Your Boss Have in Common?

During the AFC Championship game on Sunday (which we should never speak of again) my 3 year old, Noah, told me that "The Steelers are uncreatable." "Oh really?" I replied. "And what does uncreatable mean?"

He explained for me. "The Steelers are stupid. But we aren't allowed to call them stupid, so I call them uncreatable instead. It's a figure of speech." Well there you go. I have taught my children well. All teams other than the Broncos are stupid. Noah went on to tell me that everything his older brother Seth wants to do is also uncreatable, but that everything he wants to do is so very, very creatable.

So your homework for today is to use this new word at work. Think of the joy of telling your boss his idea for the new campaign is uncreatable. The probability that he will have read this blog and will fire you immediately are approximately 4 in 280 billion. (Note: If your bosses name is Alan Dotson, or Mama Dotson, the chances are slightly higher.) And being a boss, he will never admit that he doesn't know the meaning of the word. He may even spend the rest of the day poking around in the dictionary and leave you alone for once.

Let me know how it goes.
