\t\t\t\tI\u2019d be lyin\u2019 if I said I wasn\u2019t familiar with the concept behind this week\u2019s word. It\u2019s \u201cremonstrate<\/strong>.\u201d Say it with me:<\/p>\n

Remonstrate<\/a>: To forcefully reason or argue. To plead in opposition or reproof. To present an objection.<\/p>\n

Remonstrate<\/strong> is usually used in conjunction with the word \u201cwith.\u201d I\u2019ll show you how:<\/p>\n

In the middle of a quiche emergency, MaryJane had to remonstrate<\/strong> with a broody hen that refused to part with a single egg.<\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

Though MaryJane remonstrated<\/strong> with great enthusiasm, the rabbits continued to munch on her garden hoses, even though they saw her waving her hoe and stomping her feet.<\/p>\n

While I hope you don\u2019t have to remonstrate<\/strong> with anyone too often (inconsiderate animals least of all), I sure would like to hear who or what you remonstrate with?<\/p>\n

Garden hoses test my patience like nuttin\u2019 else. Just when I think I\u2019m on high ground and my uphill battles are over, they get all kinky on me. Not only that, but silly \u201cwabbits\u201c chew holes in them. And if there\u2019s even the slightest disconnect, a mouse crawls in and stops the natural flow of things. On top of all that, hoses are usually a bright green color and show up UGLY in my photographs. Yup, you know you\u2019re a farmgirl when you have \u201choses\u201c permanently on your shopping list. Bottom line: In the summer months, I often get hosed, despite my remonstrations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
