Dubious

Dubious means to be doubtful in such plans or in answering subject questions in a test.

How do you get rid of that dubious mind of yours? The Dubious Mind Cereal Box which doesn't make you have a doubt about anything (not really.) (The actual key is there's a fact on every 4 cereal pieces you eat. It disappears and appears with a different fact. The facts say what you have to do so you won't be dubious on the day-before-test-night.) Two facts.................
1. Do not do last minute cramming                                  
2. Eat healthy before tests
Good Luck! If you really have a test today!

Dolefully

Doleful. Doleful means to be filled with grief because of a loss of something. Has this happened to you? Well, it's happened to me. I know this is weird but I used to have a special marble in India and one day I lost it. When I came to America, I saw the marble. The same exact marble from the one that I found in India. But that too, soon, got lost. A few years later, int he school I am in now, they have piano classes inside the school. One time, when I went there, and it was my turn to practice by myself, under the desk next to me was something green, shiny, and round. It appeared to be the same exact one. The one that felt warm like me. But, the sad story is, I lost it too. Now, I must wait until it comes back to me again.

Divulge

Hi. It's been 12 days since I wrote my last post. Sorry, for the daily and weekly readers. Well, anyway, today's word is divulge. It means to make public. This hasn't happened to me ever, but if you told a secret to your friend, and you say pinky promise not to tell have they still divulged it? It happened to one of my friends somehow. She told me not to tell and so I never divulged it. But, somebody probably had eavesdropped on us and divulged it. Ok, getting late! Bye!

Dishearten

Dishearten means to discourage or to be discouraged. Have YOU ever been disheartened to do something just because someone fought with you when you were playing? I hope you don't get easily disheartened. I have a girl in my class that disheartens every girl including me. She's not like that to the boys. That girl disheartened me from inventing my own game. From now on, I guess I can only invent new games at home. I kow I wrote very little but I'm running late! Please, put comments if you read my posts. Bye!

Disdain

Disdain means to despise someon in the lower rank than you. Rank meaning like cast. On the highest rank would be probably a wealthy king that is selfish. It's possible that in the lower cast there could be beggar or sage. So, if that wealthy, selfish , king despised the beggars and sages, that would be disdaining them. We would probably be in the middle rank. Even though we wouldn't be in the lowest cast of all, that wealthy, selfish, king could disdain us. That's because we still are in the lower rank than that king. Ok, bye! See you next time!

Disconcert

Disconcert means to be embarrassed. Have YOU ever been disconcerted? One of the people in my class in fourth grade, (I'm in 5th now) like I said  in one of my posts, he was disconcerted.

Ok, bye! Have fun with the scavenger hunt!

Diplomatically

Even though today's Word of the Day is diplomatically, I'm going to use diplomat. Diplomat means to reproduce the exact original. A copy machine is a little bit diplomat. Copy machines don't print the exact. The writing is not as dark as the original copy. If the original is colorful, the copy will be black and white. But, it's possible for cells to make a copy of itself. An exact copy. So, I think cells are diplomat. Ok, bye!

Diminution

Diminution is to decrease by name, size, or quantity. Name meaning you aren't an important part of history anymore or an important part of  life or the world. Of course, by size, you know things shrink sometimes. But, not people. (At least that's what I think.) Quantity is how much. As you should know since you were little. In my class, there are only 16 students. First, we had 21 in the beginning of the 4th grade school year. Then , one left in the middle of the school year. In the summer, the quantity diminished to 16 because 4 people left. Ok, bye! It's getting hard to type because my cursor suddenly disappeared.

Dillydally

You can't dillydally when you have a plane to catch to Florida or back. Well, that's what we didn't do. We didn't DILLYDALLY! Sometimes right when we sat down, it would be time to go to the plane. So no dillydallying or asking for food when we were in the airport. We'd eat in the airplane. That mostly was when we were going to Florida. Ok ,bye! I don't have much to say about this word.
