My mother has a real ..... thumb. She is so good with plants and they all do well under her care.

When my husband and I got married, we had to go through a lot of ..... tape because I am a citizen of another country. These are bureaucratic procedures that one must go through in order to get approval from the government.

My three-year-old daughter was tickled ..... when I gave her that new dollhouse for Christmas. She was so happy about it!

I saw ..... when the manager told me that his store does not have a return policy. I was so angry because the item I bought from him didn't work at all and he wouldn't take it back.

During the recession, the government found that many large corporations were not in the ..... like they originally thought. They had been losing money for a long time and that's why so many of them went bankrupt.

I tried to warn my son about that girl until I was ..... in the face but he wouldn't listen. Now, he realizes that she was only after his money.

The town officials really rolled out the ..... carpet when the president came to visit. They really spent a lot of money on the welcome ceremony.

My friend posted some racy photos on a website and she is now ..... listed. She is not allowed to enter the forum and her account was closed.

My co-worker, Ken, is a real .....-eyed boy. Our boss thinks he's the greatest employee and he can't do anything wrong.

Robert did very well last year. So, now, he's the company's ..... boy. I think he's going to get a big promotion soon.
