Joseph is understanding our subliminal language

I needed to go to the grocery store tonight for a few things. I told Ron I wanted to go ALONE. 😀 So I waited until after dinner and got my stuff together and walked into the living room. Now, tomorrow is trash day, so I used an “excuse” to go outside as my clever ploy to go to the grocery store.

Joseph already knew I was going and had asked to go, but I hadn’t yet confirmed he could go.

So, I walked into the living room, where everyone was and I said, out loud …

“I am going to go take the trash out.”

And Joseph piped up, quickly and said …

“I’m going to help you.” 😀

Intepretation …
Me: “I’m going to take the trash out and get in my car and go to the grocery store and the girls aren’t going to know it.
Joseph: “Mom’s going to the grocery store and doesn’t want the girls to know, but I want to go to, so I’m going to “help” with the trash and go with her.”

Clever, clever, clever boy. 😉
