Overheard in the living room

I was looking through the Tiffany's catalog, appreciating the beautiful, expensive jewelry. I said, "Wow! Gorgeous! But $5000 for a cocktail ring?"

The Girl: "What's a cocktail ring?"

Me: "A ring for people who have too much money."

I paused, and said, "Oh well. Go big or go home, right?"

Without missing a beat, the Girl piped up, "Or go to Claire's!"

Overheard in the living room

The Girl was talking to my mom's dog, Sadie.

Girl: "I think we should be grateful for every moment we have. We should love life, Sadie!"

Me: "I do believe Sadie lives life to the fullest!"

Girl: "Sadie ravishes every moment!"

Me: "Ravishes? I think you mean relishes!"

Girl: "Those are the same thing?"

Me: "Hardly." (I then proceed to read the definition for "ravish," as in to take forcibly or to force a girl to have sexual intercourse."

Girl: (laughing) "I'm glad I try all my new words out on you, Mom!"
