It’s the tenth edition of “Did I Just Say What I Thought I Said?” in which I share phrases that I never thought:

A) Would ever need to be said in the first place,

B) that I would need to be the one to say them and

C) that I wouldn’t just be saying them, I’d be yelling them.

I was driving home in the dark, two of the three kids in the back were asleep when Jane asked me to, “Take it Mom… Take it!” This is a normal car request and so I did that awful arm contortion that is necessary to reach a child that is buckled into a car seat directly behind you yet still keep your eyes on the road – and held out my hand.

And that’s when I asked a question I wish I had never had to ask.
