Assignment 2 Ambigious Sentence 2011.02.03

My mother and I were talking about finances, specifically about the tuition fee hikes and how hard it is getting to pay for college. I conjured up the idea about maybe dropping out of college because of the expensive price tag of a college degree. When my Mother heard this suggestion, she questioned me about how a big decision like this one would work in terms of a career. I told her about how I could find a job, then save the money earned to pay for college later in life. My Mother then said to me an ambiguous sentence, "You are doing nothing in your life to suggest you are skilled enough to do this." An ambiguous sentence is a statement that is open to interpretation. What makes my Mother's quote ambiguous is what does she mean by not "skilled?" Does my Mother think I am not smart or can not perform certain physical skills? My Mother's statement made me decipher the true meaning. This is the definition of an ambiguous sentence.
