Ditto

When we went to Colorado last week, I went grocery shopping at the Safeway (my first time going to this store.) Since I am addicted to something lemon lime and diet, I made the generic purchase of the store brand diet lemon lime soda. It was divine. I actually think it tasted better than the name brand diet lemon lime which I won't mention here because I wouldn't want to hurt its feelings.

Anyway, about the 3rd day I was drinking this divine beverage, I realized its name was Diet Ditto. Fascinating. I don't know why it tickled me so. Maybe because I often say, "ditto," to my husband when he says, "I love you," Or "I miss you." Or maybe it was something that just made me chuckle and was funny to say. Or maybe it was because the discovery of the name was shared with someone who equally enjoyed (or pretended to) the moment.

Traveling home from the trip, we stopped at a fast food restaurant to get lunch, and I asked Micah what she would like to drink. "Diet Dr. Ditto," she replied. She looked at me so matter of factly, then she began to laugh so hard. It was almost as if she was making fun of my fascination of this drink. Clearly at 3, she was not. Right?
