Thirsty?

Now and then, my ADHD takes hold and I am completely unable to shut my mouth.  (Don't ask my wife - she'll just exaggerate.)

"Look, Logan, a limousine."

I can't imagine what made me think that my four-year-old would know what that meant.  He looked wildly, if not blankly, around.

"A lemonade stand?" he asked.

"No, a lim-ou-sine," I repeated, pointing at the opposing left turn lane.

He stared in the direction I was pointing - albeit, toward the sky.

"Stand?" he said.

"Honey, it's a long, long, fancy car," I said, with some exasperation.

He considered the opposing traffic for a third time.

"Where you get lemonade?"

Oh, my goodness.  I am so sorry I opened my mouth.  If I change my answer to "yes," can we please stop having this conversation now?
