Tig Notaro: A Joke About Car Cars

Tig Notaro (0:04)

This is something where it's like, I wasn't even really planning on telling this story I'm about to tell, because it happened so recently. But I also think it's amusing, and I'm also just like, who cares? So, okay, stick with me. Max and Finn, we used to push them down to the street, where there was a lot of traffic, and we'd point out.

I did not say we pushed our children into traffic.

We pushed them down the hill near the traffic. We stopped them just in time. We love them. They're our precious baby boys. We would point out the cars. We would say, car, car, car. And then Max started thinking that cars were called car cars. Okay, here's the other part of the story that's gonna sound unrelated, but hang in there. They were not breastfed.

I can't help in that department.

Tig Notaro (1:17)

I tried my best. Not successful.

Stephanie didn't breastfeed them. I also don't know why I'm telling you our personal details. Anyway, one day, Max pulled Stephanie's shirt and saw down her shirt. They have not seen boobs in their lives.

Stephanie Allynne (1:39)

He was...

Tig Notaro (1:44)

Max stopped in his tracks, just like, what?

Stephanie Allynne (1:52)

And then he looked up, and he said... Car, car?

Tig Notaro (2:01)

Just like, as if to say, I have very limited knowledge here.

Stephanie Allynne (2:09)

I don't know exactly what I'm looking at. But tell me, is that a car, car?

Tig Notaro (2:19)

Are those car cars? So now that's of course what we call them around the house.

Them, that's terrible. I'm talking specifically about Stephanie's boobs. And everyone, so they're car cars from here on out. I had no plan in telling that story.
