[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends; we need the context. I think of it in 2 different ways. Person A: I hand-write all my thank-you notes on vintage stationery using a fountain pen. It just feels more authentic. Person B (dry tone, eyebrow raised): Too precious. Basically meaning you’re trying way too hard to be special, and it’s cringe. Person A: My daughter insisted on wearing fairy wings to her first day of preschool and told everyone she was there to spread magic. [b]Person B (grinning, hand on heart): Too precious.[/b] Means adorable beyond words, still the same phrase, but the tone is affectionate instead of snarky.[/quote] Bolded, probably a touch of A too. Your kid did not do anything original or that cute. And she "insisted" means you didn't really care, thought she was too precious, or don't parent.[/quote]
