Sweeping the Nation

In an effort to communicate with your kids, you often adopt phrases they use. My sister called Pop Tarts Tee-Tops for quite a while. We call pausing a movie or TV show (thank you Tivo!) 'choking.' Pancakes were k-cakes. Shoes were stompers. You forget that to most people these are foreign phrases but you use them just as any other word. (You know it's bad when you're at work and say you need to use the potty.)

So add to that list Sam's latest. I believe he's heard 'it's a snap' somewhere, pulled it into his memory and morphed it into 'quick as a flick.' You heard it here first.
