So, today my sister and I were out purchasing some ingredients for our Thanksgiving dinner. Like all of our 'trips' to the store together this one was full of some truly brilliant comments and ideas. Just in case anyone was wondering what exactly red velvet cake was, it is in fact ... well I still don't know, but we had a lovely discussion with the resident baker, Christa. And, even manged to snag a 'free' sample.
Now, shortly before checking out at the store, our mother called my sister to get a better idea of how much longer they would be on the road, and quickly stated that they were on the Muskogee turnpike. Jess(I have been given permission to use her first name) replied, "Do you mean the Tulsa one?" "No, the Muss-ke-ki-ghe one...wait let me check my Mapquest.", was the response she heard. Finally, after a short pause mom said, "The Mus-kiki/Tulsa turnpike." Later, Jess told me, "Ding! Point for me". She then proceeded to say she was going to keep a score card in her back pocket, and every time she was proved right she would mark a point. But, every time she was criticized by our mom, mom would get a point. At the end of the visit, if she had more tally marks then mom than she would win. Instantly, I piped in that I wanted to play too.
The cards are now in the process of being put together and fingers crossed we should have a clear winner by Friday morning
i can't wait to see who wins!
