Daughter: Mom, your negativity is messing up my metabolism.
Me: What?
Daughter: Your negativity is messing up my metabolism.
Me: Because I think you’re silly for scooting around on the skateboard from the living room to the kitchen?
Daughter: Yes.
Me: Ooohhhh-kaayyy. Do you know what that means?
Daughter: No. It just sounds smart.
Daughter: (a few minutes later) What is metabolism?
Me: A scientific term commonly referred to as the rate at which your body burns calories. You can look it up in a dictionary or online.
Daughter: Oh. That sounded silly, huh? No wonder you looked at me funny.
