Me: "...and this word is philanthropist. 'Phil' meaning 'love', and 'anthropy' meaning 'of human beings.'"
Gracie: "Is that 'fist' or 'pist'?"
Me: "It's philanthropist with a p, yes."
Nator: "Yeah, I think 'pist' is a bad word."
Me: "How did you know that?"
Gracie: "What? 'Pist?'"
Nator: "I don't know... I think 'The Biggest Loser.'"
Gracie: "What does 'pist' mean?"
Me: "Yes, well, it's not a nice word. It's something unintelligent people say when they're upset and can't think of anything more... intelligent to say." :-/
Thanks, Jillian. I will be more focused on my penmanship when writing on the whiteboard from now on.
