Foiled Again

The other day, Amelie and I were thirsty after enjoying some playtime at a local park and we decided to stop by a nearby Wawa to quench our thirst with some ice cold water*. As I was attempting to pull into the parking lot of aforesaid Wawa, I had the dangerous misfortune of being behind a woman who may have received her driver's training from the Harpo Marx School of Driver Education. The rear end of my Jeep was hanging out in traffic on a very busy, shoulder-less street and she would not move further into the lot so I could pull in. She certainly had room but was evidently waiting for a good parking spot to be vacated.

Being sensitive to the fact that Amelie was in the car, I WHISPERED under my breath, "Oh my gosh, you are stupid!" Amelie quickly responded, "Granny, I heard that!" "Sorry, Amels." "Well, I didn't hear the word but I think it might have been bad."

Note to self: watch not only words but intonation as well. check!


*ice cold water - This is what Amelie kept insisting she wanted until we walked into the Wawa and saw the Icee machine. One blue raspberry Icee coming right up!
