the disbelief is starting

no longer is Mom's word "the" word... On Sunday, DragonRider and I were out doing some shopping and needed to pick up windshield washer fluid. I told him to write blue juice on our list and he gave me a strange look. So I explained what it was. Now, if you please, fast-forward to last night.

DR: "Do Minnesotan's really call windshield washer fluid "blue juice?"

Me: "Yes! Well maybe not all of them but yes, a lot of them do. A lady on the radio used to call it that all the time. Don't you believe me???"

DR: (a little too smugly) "No, not really."

Thank you Erin! I WILL tell him. My blog doesn't support polls but if it did, there would be one on there to poll all my lovely viewers.

Angie, I am certain that if it had been you telling him that this was so, it would be so. Rest assured.

well, in tyler's defense, i had never heard of it referred to as blue juice either, and i also didn't necessarily believe you. sorry!

I'm with Angie and Tyler on this one...but maybe it's because I'm from Wisconsin?

This is like the "Duck, Duck, Goose / Grayduck" debate.
