Say this not that

Bronte broke up with her boyfriend last week.  Today was the first time she was home since that had happened and she was talking about it with her siblings.

Bronte:  I tell people he dumped me because it's easier and answers those awkward questions better than if I just say 'we broke up'.

Nate:  I don't like that you say he 'dumped' you.  Why don't you say you were 'let go' instead.  That sounds better.

A little bit later  Rod came home from meetings

Aimee:  Dad, there is an elephant in the air, but Bronte says we can talk about it.

Rod:  Huh?

Bronte:  She means an 'elephant in the room'.
