A couple of weeks ago I took the kids to Trader Joe's for our weekly grocery visit. An older, friendly grandpa walked us out to the car to help me unload the bags. As we were walking, Madeline said to him excitedly, "That's Chitty!"
He seemed a little embarassed and chuckled a little bit, saying "Ohh-kay."
I knew he thought Madeline just cursed at him, but I explained that she named our car "Chitty" from the movie "Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang!"
He seemed relieved. "Ohhhh...I thought she said..."
Yes, I knew what he thought. So now she's calling our car it's full name instead of the nickname.
