I was texting my sister moments ago. I needed to know if my texting was working and she is my guinea pig. Loves the texting. It does work by the way. (Sorry, Justin, don't know what's up with that?)

Anyway, as she was signing off she said, "we'll see you on Thursday for the fair".  I wrote back, "who is we, you and Chad or you and tadpole?"

Chad is my brother-in-law, tadpole is my nephew/niece-to-be. I wasn't sure if Chad was off work or not and so didn't know who she was referring to.

She replied that we now means all three of them.

Well, that's confusing. I said there should be a word for that. Not a phrase, like, "the three of us" but a word that signifies when we is more than two people.

I've had this problem before. Kelly often says "we'll be there" when I invite her to things. I have to clarify if that means she and Mark or if the kids will be coming as well.

How can we solve this?

Any ideas?

Someone out there must have a solution. I will try and wait patiently.

HELP!

Re: Vocabulary Help?
But "we" simply means more than one person.

The President is giving a speech and says, "We must work together to end this recession...," he's not only speaking about himself and his wife.

So this is my new thing.  When I say we I mean my hubby and I.  Otherwise I'll say my fam. and I.  Problem solved.  As for Emily.  Expect the tadpole to go where ever she does for the next 2.5 years SOLID.
