Here�s what happened. I�m showing photos of my daughter to one of my co-workers and in one of the pictures, she looks particularly pissed off. Now, trying to be professional, I don�t want to say, �Hey doesn�t Little T look pissed off?� So I say, �Doesn�t she looked annoyed?� Well, my co-worker says, �Oh no, she just looks petulant.�

HUH?

Now Ms. Smartypants, who obviously must have gone through a better public school system than I, wasn�t trying to be superior by showing off her vast vocabulary. I think she thought that�s a word that everyone uses in daily conversation.

Well, to avoid looking dumb, I just smile and nod my head and make a mental note...look up petulant. So for those of you wondering what it means, here ya go:

Petulant: (adj.) huffy, snappish, irritable, grouchy, bad-tempered, ill-tempered.
