Amen! Love the phrase fail....all the time. We need to remember the power of words. You have a great way of getting the message out there. Thanks.

Thanks for the comment, Sam. Great story. I could see why one would teach a child to be cautious when discussing religion or politics. Sounds like she used the phrase correctly, and thank goodness she had you to talk with!

I spent a lot of time on trains out west in August, and one one long haul a 10-year-old girl and her teenage brother made friends with me.

I understand what that phrase means, but people often use it in the wrong context. "Hey I'm flunking out of school. Well it is what it is." No it's not - go and get a tutor. Probably would have written more but I don't have the hour long study hall like last year!

I believe that most of the time, "It is what it is" is meant to be a recognition of the things we cannot change, and must accept.

Do you have a similar issue with "Que sera, sera"? ;-)
