This one always bugged me terribly, too. I never understood how
anyone could say it... but there are others just as damaging... "I can't
wait for you to get married and get out of the house" "I can't wait for
school to start to get these little [name your own bad term ) out
of my hair"... etc. I cringe when I hear things like that.
