I was talking with my oldest daughter the other day--one of my favorites, because every day when our family of seven is together is a favorite day. She was telling me a story about her work. These are the best.
I digress here a moment. Mommas of young kids, you have something so fun coming! When your kids get jobs, they are going to tell you stories about their days. Coworkers, bosses, clients... It's endlessly entertaining to listen to them talk about incidents, personalities, and their own reactions and responses. Both my grown kids have always worked in fields where they are caring for others, which seems inevitably to earn some riotous stories about outlandish behavior and/or bodily fluids. Best shows in town!
Back on track. So, we are listening to a story. She was not at the end of the story, but paused after quoting a request made by a coworker. A younger sister was in the room with us, seemingly engrossed playing with a stuffy in her lap. She took the pause to mean it was her turn to help end the story. So she did with this:
"And you were like, 'no!'"
The tone and inflection was spot on with an 80s Valley Girl. Where'd she pick that up?
