    Oops! Did that just come out of my mouth?!

    My mother in law says "fiddlesticks," it cracks me up! I like "darling" as a pet name, for men and women, I never hear anyone use darling, not even to describe something cute...

    Oops! Did that just come out of my mouth?!

    Oops! Did that just come out of my mouth?!

    I work part time at a drive through Starbucks...the other day when I was reading an order back to a customer I said "O.K., swell, we'll see you at the window." At the same time, three of my partners looked at me and said (almost in unison!) "Did you just say SWELL!?" I use bygone words and...

    Is it a little noisy in here??

    What happened to saying no to kids and meaning it. I was in Target and witnessed a three year old argue with his mother about getting a toy.
