Old Hand
So difficult child #1, oldest is the grammar police to the max. So annoying with it as I've posted in the past. Well just happened now so believably funny (and she took it so well and we both laughed about it too).
I forget exactly what the conversation was about, something to do with her friend online and the word respite. She said it as "res-spite" and I corrected her and said no, it's "res-spit". She repeated it again and said no, I'm pretty sure it's said my way. I said no I know it's not. She said look it up! So I did as I knew it was not.
Sure enough I was right! lol So I said "take that grammar patrol police! The sheriff has spoke!". It was all in good fun and teasing and we both just laughed because she is so on people about their grammar and correcting misspoken words daily, constantly that it drives us insane at times.
It's just good and funny that this occurred this way. And the fact of what the word actually was that it happened over made it even funnier when I thought about it because it's exactly a word......needed! LMAO
