Did you want something?

I taught Tristan to sign words to me and then I forgot to watch. I was in Starbucks picking up a coffee today and T was in his stroller.
The woman behind the counter said, "what does that mean?"
Me: "oh, that means please. He knows a few words- help, please, eat, all done."
Starbucks lady: "and what is that?"
Me: "Sometimes he puts a few together. That's Eat please, but you don't really want to eat do you?" And then I turned around to get my coffee.
Starbucks Lady: "I think he might want a banana"
As a look and now actually pay attention to my son, he is practically jumping out of his stroller pointing and staring down the bananas on the counter while continuously signing 'eat please, eat please, eat please!'
Thank you Starbucks lady for helping me be a better mom...
