I need to title an as-yet nonexistent painting.
I need a word that sort-of sounds like “constant”, and either means the same thing, or exactly the opposite. Or something.
The painting (if I can do it well) will be a toddler at the beach, in a cute sundress and bonnet, barely able to lift a plastic watering can. And by implication, watering everthing in sight – beach chairs, towels, lunch, the dog, etc.
Bad titles I have thought of:
The Inconstant Gardener
Can you come up with something better?
Dammit, I meant INCONTINENT.

The unintentional gardener
Those who can, water… (see what I did there?!)
Constance the Gardener
continual
continuous
contagious
compulsive
comfortable
incontinent, if you paint her in a diaper
compleat
Constance the Gardener Waters Her Donut Seeds (show a box of Cheerios)
See if something here strikes your fancy:
“The Hydrant Gardener.” Ha ha ha!
Decant
Errant
Exuberant
Or browse this list for similar-sounding words .
I like “The Errant Gardner”
The Once and Future Gardener
The Surprise Gardener
Assistant Gardener (she’s “helping” to water everything)
(sorry for two posts in a row)

I like that, as well as Instant.
Or just “The Gardener.”
I did think Incontinent, but… no.
Rhiannon8404 , good ones, but they don’t really work with the word play referencing that particular Ralph Fiennes film.
Of course, I could go with something completely different. “Kaitlin” strikes me as particularly generic.
The Can’s tot gardener? The can-tote gardener? the Grow, stat! gardener?
I got nuthin.
Corn-stunt gardener? Can’s-too-hot gardener?

Well, if you ditch the “gardener” theme, you could try something like “Trying to Take the Ocean Home” or “Making Waves”.
