Kids these days, you can't get anything past them

Presenting a little vignette from my life.

Miniature Rose and her going-on-eight year old son are shopping at Sam's Club.

Rose sees that they have finally received a new shipment of the elusive General Tso's Chicken. "Wooo-Hooo!" she says to her son as she places two boxes of this tasty treat in the cart. "Your Daddy will be happy as a clam!"

The kidlet replies, "Hey Mom! You just used an idiom!"

I think I was in high school when I first heard the word, "idiom."

Three cheers for the literacy collaborative.
