What Are You Trying To Say?

One of our favorite bloggers, MetroDad, has developed a way to decipher your playground conversations with other parents. In an attempt to help you navigate through mundane chit-chat with other moms and dads he's compiled some common parenting phrases and their hidden subtext.

He calls it The Parentionary, and here are some entries in the guide:

"The school wasn't really a good fit for her." = She got kicked out.

"That's so great your child loves Chicken McNuggets." = Why don't you just feed your kid out of the dumpster?

"We're so tired by the end of the day." = We haven't had sex in ages!

"What an adorable little newborn baby!" = Holy shit, your kid is ugly!
