Thursday Word Day: Coleoptile

Happy #ThursdayWordDay, word nerds! 

Today's word is one you'll have to use with a creative mindset. Don't worry, you ARE creative, so you can challenge yourself with finding a fun way to use this word in daily life. 

Dictionary.com says, "coleoptile: noun. the first leaf above the ground, forming a sheath around the stem tip." 

Sometimes I feel like a coleoptile, especially when I've had some kind of breakthrough or new idea that I'm not quite ready to announce to the world.
