Tounge Tied by Teens

I ran inside the chevron/McDonald's today to get a refill of diet coke when one of the employees recognised me.  He was on his break. Our eyes met.   He started to laugh and so did I. 

Here's why:

Not long ago I was taking my daughter to work and we stopped by so she could grab a drink on the way.  My son was in the back seat so we ordered 3 drinks.  I was in the drive thru line  driving around the corner while the kids were digging around in my purse for the change.  We were in a hurry so Lindsey started stressing out a bit.  As I pulled up to the window with the cashier, Lindsey still hadn't found enough change. 

I blame what happen next on the stress of having teenagers.  Both kids now grabbed my purse and were looking for change but they had not listened to me telling them the change was in the bottom of my purse!   

I kept hearing "MOM!  I'm going to be late!" and "There is no change in your purse!!"   Ugh, no one listens to me.  When the guy at the window said "That will be $3.63",  I was going to tell him to hang on a minute....... but I was still talking to my children when I turned around.  I  looked him in the eye and in a frustrated voice and very matter-of-factly said "The change is in my bottom!!"  Allow maybe 2 seconds of dead silence followed by me bursting into laughter, daughter saying "Oh, my gosh...."  and my son laughing in the back saying "That was so dodgy".

Yep, typical day.
