Things a child in 2007 would say...

that a child of the 80's wouldn't say:

(These are things that Maggie says, often!)

1. Let me see the picture (immediately after taking it on a digital camera).
2. I need a nonfat latte.
3. I need to check my e-mail.
4. Can I have some pita and hummus? (Okay, maybe a child of the 80's in the Middle East would have said this.)

I told my mom this and she thought maybe I was drinking too many lattes. I said, "Maybe, but don't forget that when I was Maggie's age I called every beverage 'Coke' because you drank so much Coke!"

Here's another funny:
Yesterday Maggie was asking me where her potsticker was. I had no idea what she was talking about because I didn't think she knew what potstickers (i.e. an Asian dumpling) were. Finally I realized she meant a sticker she has that looks like a pot! In case you were wondering why Maggie has a sticker that looks like a pot, it's from a Biblical Christmas story sticker book that her Grandma Howard sent her and it goes on a page with the the stable.

Ok, can I tell you how old I feel that MY child is talking about how things have changed from her childhood and her child says things that would've been unheard of when she was a child????

And yes I was completely busted by that comment about "coke" vs "latte"
