Quotes

Here are some more quotes I dug up from a while ago (I think they’re all the way from last year!):

Me: “Where do you want to go out for your birthday dinner?”
Danny: “Taco Bell!!”
Jim: “Don’t you want to go someplace nicer?”
Danny: “Where, like the gas station?”

***********

Jimmy, referring to the meal I had cooked for him: “This dinner is halfway between disgusting and good.”

***********

I heard Danny crying and asked the usually guilty party: “Jimmy, what did you do??”
Jimmy took a long pause, thought about it, and slowly described what happened: “I put my butt directly on his head.”

************

I was doing Tazie’s hair and said in exasperation, “Tazie, stay still!”

Susie overheard me and quipped “Asking Tazie to stay still is like asking a cow to bark…it’s not going to happen.”

************

We were sitting in a church meeting and someone asked for prayer for a friend who had been rear-ended. Susie got a horrified look on her face and whispered to me, “Did she get hurt in her rear end??”

**************

All during a meal I was riding Jimmy about “sitting like a gentleman, chewing like a gentleman.” After the meal, he got up to clear his plate and I called after him, “Jimmy, please clean up all your crumbs!”

He answered, “Gentlemen don’t clean crumbs – they have servants to do that!!”

*************

I saw Tazie walk by me in the kitchen when I thought she was in the basement playroom with Danny behind the baby gate. Me: “How did you get up here, Taz?”
Danny: “Oh, I let her up.”
Me: “Why did you do that?”
Danny: “Because that’s what big brothers do, help their little sisters.”
