So I'm waiting in line at the McDonalds in our local prison yard--otherwise known as the Galleria mall. Next to me is a mother and her daughter, who looks to be about 11 years old. The girl asks her mother, "Is the chicken strips good?" Most mothers would correct their children, but I have a feeling this one didn't think there was a grammar issue. Anyhow, the funny part is the mother's matter-of-fact answer: "Outstanding!" I don't know... that exchange just made me chuckle. It was almost as funny as the time I overheard a guy at a bar say, "You know, technically, a surfboard is a vessel." And guys don't know why girls think we're all idiots. |
