Gina has developed Momnesia. It makes for great material!
You don't need the context to appreciate the following. This evening at dinner, as we were sitting down I said,
-"I've been thinking about Tahoe all day."
My beautifully tired and with child wife replied,
-"I know, I've been thinking about taco all day, too."
As soon as she finished saying "taco" I saw her look of recognition and awareness, which conveyed,
-"You said Tahoe, not taco. And if one wants tacos they would say, 'I've been thinking about tacos all day, as opposed to 'I've been thinking about taco all day'". She took it in stride and we both laughed over a delicious burrito, and two tacos. It was a great dinner.
On our way home we went to the drug store. As we parked I asked her,
-"Do you need anything in there?"
-"Chocolate"
-"Ok, what kind of chocolate? Like a frozen dessert type, or a candy?"
-"The stuff from a package where you pour it into water and it is hot."
-"Holy cow, what? You mean like instant hot chocolate?"
-"That's it! Hot chocolate."
