You Know..

This is Spencer's latest phrase. He likes to uses it in all kinds of situations.
"Mom where's my...you know?"
"Mom can I ...you know?"
"Spencer, what are you doing?"
"You know."
"Spencer, where did you put my keys?"
"In the...you know."
Okay. Maybe "you know" is less taxing on the mind than trying to figure out what he really wants to say, or maybe he figures he's got a better chance of me giving up and leaving him alone when he uses "you know".
Whatever the reasons, there are times that I know exactly what "you know" means. Like yesterday when we ran out of gas in the middle of town. "Mom, you should have....you know."
"Yeah. I know".
