Nate to me while in line at the grocery store – “Look Momma Look! Fish Boon!”
Me responding to Nate – “No honey, that’s a shark balloon.”
Cashier to me – “Uh, that’s a dolphin.”
Me, trying to spell a word while trying to tell a story at the same time – “W-h-i-t.”
Andrew’s response, filled with sarcasm – “W-h-i-t?”
Me, not getting the sarcasm – “Yeah.”
Andrew’s response minus the sarcasm and filled with concern – “W-H-I-T?”
Me, finally realizing my brain fart – “Oh! You know I know how to spell white!”
Me, trying to teach Nia that she lives in the United States of America – “It’s like when you say the Pledge. ‘I pledge allegiance to the United States of America.'”
Andrew, half smiling in mockery – “‘… to the flag.'”
Me – “Yeah, ‘I pledge allegiance to the United States of America.'”
Andrew, more emphatically – “… ‘TO THE FLAG.'”
Me, understanding my terrible teaching – “Oh! Right! ‘I pledge allegiance to the FLAG of the United States of America.'”
Meanwhile, Nia is looking at me like “Geez Mom!”
Are You Zhazha? 
Funny! Brain farts are funny!
I know you are busy, but I am wondering how the new job is going…….
