Sometimes the Wrong Word Can Be Very Appropriate

Case in point: Sissy had a dental check-up today and she was very nervous. I could sympathize. I always dread going to the dentist too, so I totally knew what she meant when she leaned over to me in the waiting room and said,

" Mommy, my stomach feels kind of SQUEEZY".

I felt for her, but I couldn't help think how her word made complete sense. When you're so nervous about something you're almost sick, 'squeezy' is the perfect way to describe it. And if waiting to get poked in the mouth with sharp instruments isn't enough to make your stomach feel squeezy, I don't know what is.
