I was explaining the phrase "worth your weight in gold" to Sarah. As an example, I told her that if someone tells her she's worth her weight in gold, that means she's worth about the same as 60 pounds of gold. She doesn't know how much that is, but she was immediately offended. I told her that was probably over a million dollars, but she was still mad and declared, "I'm a child of the King! I'm priceless!" Once again, she schooled me. Next time I'm explaining that phrase, I'll use an inanimate object as an example.
This morning as I was getting on the scale, the priceless little princess told me, "You're not fat, Mom. You're just...um...big for your age."
