Hey. And ugh, forever - part 2

Today, in the car, driving through Tyson's Corner:

E: HEY Mommy!
Me: What?
E: HEY!
Me: Hey what?
E: HEY!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: WHAT??????????????
E: Hey. Right there. Hey. In that truck.
Me: Ahhh, hay.
E: Is that barn hay?
Me: no, it is garden center hay. but maybe it was in a barn before that.
E: is it going to the lawyer's office too?
Me: No.

can you guess where the truck full of hay went? And can you guess what came from the back seat? "See, I told you it was going to the lawyer's office..."

Elisabeth continues to say "ugh.... forever." But now it is very quickly followed by "I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just saying it..." We tried to explain to her that the word "whatever" is not always bad, it is only bad to say "ugh... whatever" when we're trying to be mean. So now, it gets stuck in her head and she realizes that she's been caught saying something naughty and has to cover her rear...
