Spellcheck, Aisle Five!

Daughter LOVES to go to the store and shop with a list and put everything where it belongs....
it's part of the autism package that I'm delighted with!
So, yesterday we went to Target to get our *staples*
(we buy our produce at our local farmer's market on Tuesday afternoon...
fresh bread and local organic eggs are SO wonderful....but we still need paper towels
and laundry soap and all that other STUFF.)
She happily got a cart (and said THANK YOU SIR! to the kid wheeling them in out
of the triple digit heat...I think he thought she was a mirage!)
and, list in hand, headed off for the supplies.
I was a few aisles behind her when she called out
*MOM?*
I'm over here, just a few aisles away...what do you need?
*Well, there are forty two different kind of orange juices but none of them are orgasmic!*
OR.GAN.IC! I shouted.
*What?* said the child with the processing lag...
ORGANIC! shouted three or four other Mothers, reflexively.
giggling ensued, as strollers and carts came curiously toward us.
I was trying to keep a straight face and thinking we'd had one of our many
*that's not what I thought I heard* moments.
Nope.
right there on the list,
I had written
Orgasmic Orange Juice.
sigh.
Is it HOT where you are?

leave it to a kid with autism to get it exactly right...and she will remind you of that again..."remember when you wrote orgasmic instead of organic and i said it out loud in the target in xxx"...and again - its hot in massachusetts again today too, only 3 days of relief and now back to the 90's...

Granted... I would like some of that orgasmic orange juice :-)

[Joan in Reno]

We have had over a week of triple digit temps. It's now in the high 90s. I don't care if we don't have much humidity, 100F is still hot! But at least it isn't steam heat :-). And I don't have A/C. I still like it better than winter, so I'm not complaining.

[Christina]

Dude, all orange juice is orgasmic.

[Norma]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, rofl, rofl, rofl, AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Think of Garth in Wayne's World: "Excellent."

[Kathy]

Oh, yes - you will be reminded of that for years to come, in great detail. My oldest tells me about things that happened when he was two and gets outright indignant about decisions I made three years ago. Certainly keeps me on my toes, knowing he remembers EVERYTHING and will blurt out any of it to perfect strangers. Ah, the fun of living with Autism, eh?

[Chery]

I'm dying with laughter. . . So funny! It's been hot in Kansas City, but we're expecting rain and cooler temps today.

[Annie]

Too funny! Did you find any of that orgasmic orange juice? I want some if you did.....

:)

[Maryann]

So Autistics remember everything? My autistic daughter is 3 1/2. Should I be getting scared yet? Oh dear... The Orgasmic Orange Juice was very funny ;)

I was shopping with my husband and we were in the produce section of the grocery store. He calls out very loudly, "what do we need for the beef stroke-me-off?" (what we call beef stroganoff). Every women turned to look at us, then quickly looked away. Red faced, I walked up to him and said softly... I don't think these ladies like our food humor.

[Sharlene]

Hey, your girl can follow directions! :) :) :) Thanks for the laugh. I needed it. :)

[--Deb]

Aw, that's sweet! Kids are so great . . . (grin)

[Gina]

And to think I've been buying Minute Maid...

[MAggi]

That's given me the chuckle I really needed on this sweltery day ~

[mamacate]

Oh my god I nearly fell off my chair. I bet you made those other moms' days!

Man, I better get me some ORGASMIC orange juice, eh?

[Jane]

Hot? It was 105 on the Ikea parking lot, according to my car thermometer, but only 101 while driving.

[Nik]

what store was that again?

[jane]

We quit the orange juice when we started the South Beach diet...may be time to buy some again! Thanks for the laugh! Jane

[Amy]

So funny!

[Ann]

Yes, dear, and where WAS your mind? ;)

[eyeleen]

too funny! it's definitely the heat.

[Rachael]

Hys. Ter. I. Cal.

[alison]

OK, so they don't have it at Target, but ... anywhere else? I'm suddenly very thirsty!

[Bliss]

Hahahahahahah! I'll have what you're having. When hubby was in the hospital getting the heart bypass, kiddo told someone at school he was having his ovaries worked on (she mean ARTERIES.)

[Annie]

Innocence is great and so special I wish it could be preserved....We are in winter and having beautiful days of around 18 - 20 celsius, although with only 4 1/2 weeks till spring, I know that we are going to be having some cold weather in the weeks to come, probably up to end September. I hope your hot summer doesn't come down our way this summer.

[Lee Ann]

Not only am I shopping at the wrong store, but I think I need to hire you to create my list..

[Catherine]

Okay, so, if you do find that orange juice please let me know, you have my email addy. And does anyone else think that Orgasmic Orange sounds like a Really Special Kool Aid flavor? And were you watching something particularly interesting on TV while making that shopping list? Just asking....

[Nathania]

You should try the orgasmic chocolate. Mmmmmmm.... mmmmmm... mmmmmm... keeps you coming back for more!

[Krista]

Some damn good juice, I'd say.

[ck]

LMAO! How cute :)

[Carolyn]

Hey, my daughter used to refer to people who didn't eat meat as "Veg-italians"

[Sassy]

I once dated a guy who told me a story and made me promise never to tell ANYONE. Then he dumped me so I now I shall gleefully tell everyone on the Internets. The story is that when he was first entering college, he was a candidate for a science scholarship. He had to have an interview with the faculty as part of the process. When they asked him why he wanted to be a biology major, he MEANT to say he was interested in studying ORGANISMS. But instead he said "I'm interested in studying orgasms." Now that's honesty in a college-aged male....

[Esther]

Oh your posts are wonderful!!! My son is autistic and he's going to be 9 soon - and he acts the exact same way....he goes to the store with me and asks all the tellers (just like this): "excuse me sir, one dollar please"...lol

They are a joy...

[sUsAn]

Oh, Greta, I've missed reading your blog while I've been away! What a fun post! Thx for the LOL! I needed it! :)
