...and are not afraid to talk about them!
Back when I was a career girl a co-worker once remarked that he could always hear the wheels turning in my head. I laughed like it was a cute compliment.
"No, really. You make these little sounds when you are thinking hard."
He was right. I wish I could explain them, but my lips pucker, my tongue touches the roof of my mouth and I make this rapid little sound like a baby squirrel. From then on, Dave called it my Jen-tium processing. (Get it, pentium?)
Anyway, I had completely forgotten about this until this morning when I was putting K's shoes on and my thoughts were obviously elsewhere.
"Mama! Why are you making that sound?"
"What sound, babe?"
"The one you always make when you are looking for something at Kroger."

Too funny! I love the "Jen-tium" nickname.
Kroger gives me reason to make noises to myself too, yet not as much as WM. I find a little more peace at Kroger.
Leave it to K to be so insightful of her mama. We girls need to stick together!
Truly out of the mouth of babes.
That was funny!
Oh my word. I don't know what made me laugh harder -- the line about the Jen-tium processor or K's "observation."
That's too funny! I enjoyed that so much because I seem do my hardest thinking at the grocery store these days.
That was GREAT!
