This post is simply a collection of quotes that stick with me...unforgettable things people have said, each memorable for its own reason:
"So what now? Champagne? Because I feel like you need Champagne." ~My stepmom, Kyra, in the car after my (first) divorce hearing.
"When I grow up, I want shoes like yours. Because you'll be dead, and you won't need them anymore." ~Julia, two months ago.
"Heaven sounds okay, but I'd rather go to Lego Land...or is that pretend, too?" ~Grant, last year.
"Okay, autocorrect keeps changing 'Wing Man Saturday' to 'Wong Man Saturday' and I'm tired of changing it. Give up. Does this mean we have to start looking for Asian men?" ~Angie, earlier this year.
"How do you feel about pole dancing?" ~Kayla, four weeks ago.
"Well, little lady, you just bring me all o' yo' money, and all o' yo' jewelry, and we'll just skin 'im alive!" ~my Old South Attorney's response (second divorce), upon asking how much it would cost me.
"What can I do? Because I'll do it." ~Meredith, every time I've ever needed her to say it.
"I see the mail truck. Where's the eMail truck?" ~Julia, age 3.
"Ketchup makes me happy. Mustard makes me crazy." ~Grant, age 5.
"I'm really proud of you." ~My Dad, the times I've needed to hear it most.
"They might not like it, but whatever. We feed them. They'll get over it. Giddyup." ~Renee, 4 years ago, on staying out later than we should've.
"You guys are crazy. I so want friends like this when I'm old like you guys." ~Gracie, a few years ago (when old = 30!)
"If you indulge crazy, you will become crazy yourself." ~Meredith, on dealing with ex-husband texts.
So there's that, some amusement for you, these sticky things. I'll try to post a real update soon.
