A friend just tried to convince me that now that she will have a second child, she needs to trade in her Corolla for an SUV with three rows. Sure, another friend has an SUV with three rows for two kids, but she is 6'1", her children are supposed to be much taller, and I really like her!

The friend with a 90 Civic just finished her first semester with some new college program that has the students deal with life skills before actually starting college material. She complained about needing to discuss needs versus wants and I told her that I had just tried discussing that with her!

So, again, I mention the person who orders their meal saying "I need six Big Macs."

Do you understand what "need" means?
