Recently my friend and I went to a local steakhouse for dinner. The waiter asked what we would like to drink. My friend asked for a glass of white zin and water. When I was asked, I said, “Ditto.” A bit later, my friend’s water and wine were delivered. The waiter said to me that the bartender didn’t know what kind of drink “ditto” was. I said that it meant the same as what my friend ordered. He took our dinner order, and my friend’s order sounded good. I said, “Ditto,” again with a smile. The young waiter said, “That means the same as her, right?” We all had a good chuckle!

Our 4-year-old granddaughter loves to watch and study bugs, lizards, birds, and butterflies. On one of our bug hunts, she spotted a lizard climbing up the wall. She got as close to the lizard as the lizard would allow. And as she was bent over with both her hands on her knees, not taking her eyes from it, she
said “All my life, all I have ever wanted was a lizard or a baby dragon for a pet.”

My 4-year-old said to her younger brother, “When I turn 5, I am going to get a booster seat.” He replied, “When I turn 5, I am going to get a driver’s seat.”
