how's that??

I mis-spoke,

which is quite common.

Once upon a time

I'd realize something didn't come out quite right

and ask the kids, "What did I just say?"

I don't usually even catch myself anymore

and it's only when the kids look at me weird

or question me

that I realize 

I've done it again.

After calling French Toast 

waffles

- and being corrected - 

Lily asked, "Why do you do that?"

I said,

"Well, I'm trying to recover from a seven year sleep deprivation."

Jeremiah thought a second,

"So, that means,

you've only had this problem since I was born."

Then the light dawned
and he looked at me with a sheepish grin.
