Sentence: After her tenth child was born, Melba knew it was time to start giving her sacribyes to the older kids. Not that she wanted to, but they were 19, 20 AND 21 and needed to get out in the world to make their own way. Besides, she would still have 7 at home under age for now to look after. Her biggest worry was what would she do when this last little one left the nest...because she had given up all her identity to raise him and his siblings.How much of her own self was there left?

Pronunciation: sac-ri-price

Sentence: As a good mother, you pay the ultimate sacriprice when you watch the object of your total devotion walk out the door into the arms of the future. It's a bittersweet moment, and it stings for a while, until mother realizes that now she and daddy can go back to dating; eating and drinking whatever they want, and having sex wherever and whenever they want like they did the night their child was conceived. On top of that -- the heat, food and water bills plummet and there's always clean towels in the closet. An empty nest isn't so bad after all and it's well worth the sacriprice.

Etymology: sacrifice: complete giving to a specific person or cause + price: cost

Pronunciation: sak remans ee payt

Sentence: She had done all she could for Little Robin... gave him life, fed him, cleaned him, taught him about life and kept him warm. It was now the time to sacremancipate him. His educatgion would continue at a higher level. Now that he knew where to look for the choicest worms, how to avoid predators and how to sing to attract a mate, Mother Nature would continue his education and teach him how to migrate each fall and return each spring. It was very sad each year when they left the nest to make it on their own.
