a cutting remark
First grader Lola was pretending to tell someone off. Putting her hands on her little hips, she sneered, "You wanna organize a sock drawer, SUCKAH?"
Once I said, "I'm gonna take you down." to my brother in law who was pestering me at a big family dinner. My 5 year old daughter piped in, "I'm gonna take you down to the post office."
awesome. i would also use it as a come-on line: "hey sailor, wanna organize a sock drawer?"
ReplyDeletewas she also brandishing an uneaten stalk of asparagus at the time?
