Writings about Ataxia, being DeafBlind, family life. The best life can offer!


Craig’s WD #42

Today’s Word of the Day is…

Recalcitrant

The police tried to subdue the polka dancers who refused to stop dancing. The recalcitrant crowd was dancing in the streets, in traffic, caution was abandoned! Polka music was coming from all directions, and it was so loud that passersby started to shimmy and jive!
The solution came at last, to senior police officials, they curtailed the boomboxes, while at the same time, introduced the Foxtrot!

Polka dancers can’t Foxtrot!

So, recalcitrant means, if you didn’t grasp it in the fiction above, means defiant, defiance.

Thank you for reading!
