Sacriprice

Created by: mrskellyscl

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
