her: "Hey mom?"
me: "Yeah babe, what's up?"
her: "There's a gal in my class that has the same necklace as me."
(she started to quietly chuckle to herself)
me: "What's so funny?"
her: "heh, 'gal' - I got that word from you...that's a funny way to say 'girl'. You say 'gal', now I say 'gal'.
me: "Yeah, I don't know why I say that. Sometimes I think it makes me sound old or something."
her: "Well, if we both say it, people will know that we're part of the same family!"
The adorable logic of a 5-year-old: The family-wide use of the term 'gal' indicates heredity. Much like the genetic traits of straight hair, eye color or freckles indicate a family line.
