One of those Little Moments

So this past weekend we were in Wally World…waiting forever at the deli counter.  It was loud and crowded.  Both my kidlets were jabbering, and I am trying to listen to the counter lady to make sure I don’t miss my turn.  AND Captain is talking to me.  And there is this annoying high pitched bell thingie going off every five minutes.  So I was distracted.

All of a sudden I hear Captain’s voice boom “Kate!”  Yes, he said Kate, not my real name!  He had my instant attention!  I was stunned.  His tone, his boom, and using my pseudonym instead of my real name; it all caught my immediate attention, FAST!

Then he stands there chuckling because it worked so well!!!!!!  And he says he might have to try that more often.  Men!  No…HOH’s!
