Sprite was praising an entry in the Chinese New Year contest and said in her enthusiasm, “I want to give them a standing O’Ryan!”
“What?”
“A standing O’Ryan!”
Because I had a puzzled look on my face, Sprite showed me what she meant by standing up and clapping wildly.
“Oh! A standing OVATION.”
She’s almost eleven, and the humor is still coming! I love it.
