Memo to children:

You can be thirsty. You can be very thirsty. You can even be incredibly thirsty. But you can never, ever, be "stupid thirsty." Ever.

Memo to parents:

If your children say they are "stupid thirsty," and you don't grab them by the neck, look into their eyes, and correct them on the spot, don't complain in twenty five years when they are living in your basement and haven't yet dated.
