There we go! The Dictionary.com definition of the title of my blogs! "Reticent Squirrel"! Now that I think about it, squirrels don't seem too reticent. They bound enthusiastically across lawns and up trees. They chase each other with much enthusiasm as well. However they are reserved around people. When I was in high school I vaguely remember that we did a personality test in Home Ec. In the results one of the adjectives to describe me was reticent, the teacher said it applied to me! I suppose it did apply to me because I was reluctant to talk sometimes. I was picked on in school, so I didn't express myself often. I didn't know what reticent meant, and my teacher made me look it up in the dictionary. Here it is:
reticent \RET-ih-suhnt\, adjective:
1. Inclined to keep silent; reserved; uncommunicative.
2. Restrained or reserved in style.
3. Reluctant; unwilling.
