There's always something

On swearing:

Allie:  "Why did you just say a bad word?"

Me:  "I didn't say a bad word.  What did I say?"

Allie:  "The S word."

Me:  "No, I didn't."  (I didn't.)

Allie:  "Well, sometimes you say it in your head.  Don't you?  I can tell."


On boy bands:

Allie:  "In One Direction, is there a guy named Harry?"

Me:  "I have no idea.  Why are you asking?"

Allie:  "At the party, S, K and T were talking about One Direction.  'Harry's my favorite.  Harry's my least favorite.'"

Me:  "Oh."

Allie:  "I said, 'Who is this Harry person?'"

Me:  "That's a good question."

Allie:  "I think they should be called Zero Direction."


On wearing work clothes while I'm not at work:

Anna:  "Aren't you going to change clothes before we go get ice cream?"

Me:  "No.  We don't really have time.  I can just wear this."

Anna:  "But the workers are probably going to wonder why you look so fancy."


On playing Barbies with Emily:

Anna:  "She's supposed to be a worker at the snow cone place, not catching people jumping off the building."

(Apparently, the applicant had to pass a series of challenges, including catching bungee jumpers, before she was offered a position at the snow cone place.)


On fashion:

Allie:  "I'm a purple skirt kind of girl."


On technology:

Allie:  "Don't you know that the best way to communicate is by talking.  Not texting.  (In a mimic-like voice) I'm going to text this person.  I'm going to text that person.  He hasn't texted me back yet."


On band names:

Emily:  "When I was little, I thought that the Goo Goo Dolls were dolls, like the ones in It's a Small World."

Zero Direction is my favorite! I am quite impressed that Emily knows who the Goo Goo Dolls are!

Actually laughing out loud here too!!! Too funny!

And I've got to agree that talking is the best form of communication :)

Cindy said...

Ok. I absolutely love that they know who the Goo Goo Dolls are, and not who Harry from One Direction is. You're obviously doing an amazing job!
