PE 8/22 New Baby Means New Car

Just deal with it. In 18 more years you can get another sports car, but for now we need something bigger and safer for our growing family.
* deal with it: to accept the consequences of something
ex> She just doesn’t love you anymore, so you’ll have to learn to deal with it.

It’s not like we’re strapped for cash. Come on, honey! Why do I have to suffer for this?
* strapped for cash: lacking money
ex> Tim was strapped for cash, so he decided to sell one of his cars.

You’re suffering? I’m the one carrying this baby inside of me along with an extra 10 kilos of blubber! You don’t have any room to talk.
* have no room to talk: to be in no position morally to speak about something; be guilty of what one is speaking about
ex> You have no room to talk when it comes to money – you’ve been broke for the last year.

Sounds like you have the makings of a great dad – changing his diapers, keeping him clean, checking his temperature…
* have the makings of: to have the necessary qualities to become something
ex> That boy has the makings of a great scientist if he keeps studying.

Did you say “his”? We’re having a boy? I’m thrilled to bits[u1] !
* thrilled to bits: extremely pleased
ex> My parents were thrilled to bits when I was accepted into their alma mater.

Let’s take this down to the dealership and see how much we can get for a trade-in.
* trade-in: 보상 판매



 [u1]= over the moon; on cloud nine; trickled pink
