Happy Plate

A plate whose food has been completely eaten, leaving an empty plate. This phrase is usually used when instructing children to finish their meals. The reason for doing so is 2-fold: First, to ensure that the child/ren get the necessary amount of food. Secondly, to ensure that the child/ren won't come asking for snacks later, making Mom & Dad's lives more convenient.

Mom: "If you want to grow up to be healthy, you have to make a happy plate!"

Peach, the starfish in Finding Nemo says hurriedly, "Find a happy place, find a happy place, find a happy place!" as a coping mechanism when the heavy-fingered niece of the dentist, Darla, taps on the glass of the aquarium.

Happy Place

A destination, location, world where all your friends and loved ones are together. This "place" is not one, but many. It is anywhere you feel the most "at home" and yourself. It is where you can have fun, smile, laugh, and get excited.

Whenever all of us are together, I am in in my "happy Place"
