My sister, Carol, was driving her children to their sports practices when she saw a small, low, white sign stuck in one of her neighbor’s lawns.
The sign read, Wee Ding Service, and included a phone number.
Carol kept repeating aloud, “Wee Ding Service? Wee Ding Service? What in the heck is a Wee Ding Service?”
Let this be a lesson. Capitalize the wrong word, or put a space where there shouldn’t be one, and you have a completely different meaning. In case you aren’t getting this, the sign should have read Weeding Service.
I’ve got lots of stories about my sister, Carol. If you’d like to hear more, send me an e-mail at nancy@createthespace.com—Subject: Carol. She doesn’t live here, so she won’t even know we’re talking about her.
