This has become a catch phrase in our family. About four years ago I had the opportunity to stay with Richard and Stacy's five kids (and one friend of Mitchell's) while they went to Mexico for a week. So that was six kids, one dog, and one cat. I knew I would need re-enforcements so I asked Ashley if she would come along and be my helper inasmuch as it had been a few (just a few) years since ......... since I had lived with that much energy. So while we were there we took the kids to the beach........this was in the days before Garmins and yes we got a bit turned around, aka lost. So there we were at a red light wondering which way to go and Ashley rolls down the window and ever so politely says to the car next to us, "excuse me, I have a question?" The question being which way to the beach. The driver looked at us and shook his head in a "I don't know fashion".........the light changed and off he sped leaving us still a bit turned around. Next time Ashley ask someone from California.........the guy was from out of state.......or at least his plates were!
I love that memory and even more I love that to this day when a question needs to be asked we still say, "Excuse me, I have a question?"

It's so fun to say too. Just rolls off the tongue.
