Sentence of the Day- Portion Control

For the summer, our routine has been that if Katy is a good girl at swim lessons, we go to Ikea for lunch (kids eat free on Tuesdays!). Today, Lil' Miss was perfect at lessons, so we went to Ikea for lunch. She ordered the children's chicken fingers and french fries. I grabbed the plate off the hot line and put it on our tray.

Katy took one look at her lunch and she said (I quote), "Why did I get such a measly portion of french fries?!"

Now, let's excuse for a moment that this might sound ungrateful- it wasn't. She was actually being truthful- the portion of french fries was quite pitiful.

She didn't say, "little." Instead, she chose to say, "measly portion" (and in the correct context). That girl... I think I better go brush up on my Thesaurus in order to keep up with her!!
