Driving Miss Dizzy

I spent some time with my sister, Kimberlie, over the weekend.  We drove down to Albany for a play our friend Liz's (aka, sister from another mother and father) step-daughter was in.

Kimberlie provided the in-flight entertainment.

In Starbuck's drive through:

"I have to pee."

"Me too."

"I guess we shouldn't be getting coffee."

"Why?"

"Because coffee is a diuretic."

"What does that mean?"

"It makes you have to pee."

"Oh.  I thought it meant it gives you diabetes..."

...

(later, passing a car with a Massachusetts license plate)

"I'm glad we didn't end up moving there.  I wouldn't be able to say my state's name!"

"What?  You can't say Massachusetts??"

"No, I always end up swearing at the end."

".....?"

"Massa-two-shits."

"Hahahahahaha!!  It's MassaCHuSetts."

"Massa-two-shits."

"Hahaha(snort)hahaha!!  Ok, ok, let's practice.  Repeat after me: Massa..."

"Massa..."

"Chu..."

"Chu..."

"Setts..."

"Tits..."

(i wish i could tell you she was joking)

"Ok, try this: MassaChu..."

"MassaChu..."

"Setts..."

"Setts..."

"MassaChu..."

"MassaChu..."

"Setts..."

"Setts..."

"MassaChu...Setts."

"MassaChu...Setts."

"YES!!"

"Stacie, I think I'm better off saying Massa-two-shits than MassaChu...Setts."

"You're right...just make sure you say it really fast."
