Who Knew?

From the I-Never-Thought-I'd-Say-Such-A-Thing category, today I uttered the words,
"Let's go see if we can find that garbage truck, Zach."

Yes, the kids and I were on a Starbucks run (my first caffeine run since the babe was born!) this morning. Oh, we didn't go in the store; thankfully, there's a drive through close to us.

Yackety-Zach was in the backseat commenting on every tack-tuh and skoo bus we passed. Wayd duh tack-tuh goh? Waht ees dat? Wayd duh gah-buj tuck goh? Skoo kids? Ice keem? Wip keem? Stah bucks? Moh-cah? Wip keem? (Yes, they're all questions.)

Olivia slumbered through the whole monologue, and we were out of the house on a nice morning, so I thought we could take our time heading home. And that's when it slipped out: "Let's go see if we can find that garbage truck, Zach." And we did drive down a few streets looking for the blue sanition truck we had passed on our drive to the store.

We had another one at Pottery Barn Kids, and got called on it! As we left the store, we said goodbye to the stuffed toy Zach had tested out. A mom nearby said, "You wouldn't believe what you say goodbye to these days, do you?"

What have you said?
