Little Things
Little things can mean a lot. They can make your day. On Monday, it was the grounds maintenance worker at SFA actually stopping what he was doing as I walked past, smiling, and bidding me good morning (which I cordially returned). Today, it was a simple passage from Meg Cabot's All American Girl which I have paraphrased for you here.
"If you think, Miss Samantha," Theresa was saying, "that I am not going in with you, you have another think coming."
This is one of Theresa's favorite expressions. I taught it to her. And it really is "another think coming," not "thing."
I'm guessing that whole bit with people using the misbegotten expression 'if you think that, then you have another thing coming' annoys Ms. Cabot as much as it annoys me. Yay for someone setting the record straight :D
