According to a survey, many Americans over the age of 50 prefer to stay in their own homes. Most of them got their homes on a loan that's easy to pay.

To be spoiled

to be treated incredibly well, indulged, or pampered

We're so spoiled because our neighbors share good food with us. "Have you ever had a neighbor bring you over some freshly made cookies or maybe some soup that they just made on a cold day? It's such a beautiful feeling. This is a way to truly show love, I think. So for me, I have several neighbors that are constantly sharing food together. I feel spoiled. I am spoiled that my neighbors share such good food with me. What do you think this means, to be spoiled? This just means that I am treated well. Maybe even above well. I am pampered. Someone is taking care of me more than is even necessary. I'm spoiled. 

Her children are spoiled. She always gives them what they want. We do sometimes use this negatively for children. So if your child always asks for toys and every time they ask for a toy, you say yes. Anytime, you're walking down the aisle in a store and they say, "I want to buy that." You say, "Okay." And they want to buy something else, and you say, "Okay, okay, okay, okay." Well, you know what? Your children are spoiled. This is not a good thing. It's not a good thing for us as adults either, but when someone is spoiling me by giving me food, this is generally just kind of a neutral or good thing. But make sure that you try not to spoil your children too much. We want them to be grateful for things that they have.

Come to think of it

when an idea appears in your mind while you're speaking

Come to think of it, it is snack time. Let's go eat something. Maybe like your kids, my kids are always asking for a snack, but I try not to let them eat a snack all day, all the time. We have kind of snack times. It's not extremely strict, but if they ask me for a snack and it's around 10 o'clock in the morning, that's generally snack time and they say, "Mom, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, I need a snack." I might say, " Well, come to think of it, it is snack time. let's go eat something." So here we're talking about something that just appeared in my mind in the middle of this conversation. I wasn't thinking, snack time is coming soon, I'm going to prepare a snack. No, my kids asked me for a snack and I just remembered, "Oh, come to think of it. Oh, look at that. It is snack time. Let's go eat." So it's something that just comes up in the conversation. I want to give you another example for this. Last week, my sister and I were talking about my grandparents and thinking about them, and I said, in the middle of the conversation, "Come to think of it, I haven't heard from my grandma in a while. Maybe I should give her a call." Okay, we were having this conversation about our grandparents, and I realized in the middle of that conversation that I hadn't heard from my grandma. She hadn't called me for a while, so I thought, "Oh, come to think of it. I haven't heard from her for a while. Maybe I should call her. It just came up in my mind in the middle of the conversation.
