Interesting that. My son and I had a tip of tongue experience together, at the same time, a week ago.

We were talking about this woman who seems to seek validation with every sentence she utters. For the 30 minute ride in the car we were throwing out words - justification, acceptance, and so on, but both of us kept on feeling "no, that's not it."

I dropped him off at home, and then the search just kept niggling at my mind all night.

At 10:00 p.m. I get a call from my son...I pick up the phone and the first thing I hear is a triumphant "Validation!"

"THAT'S IT!! Yay. Thanks, it was bothering me." "I know, that's why I called past 9:30." "Bye, love you." "Love you too."
