*Uncle Steve*
"I don't know if Nicholas knows who I
am yet. I said hello at the airport, and he just walked right
by."
"I don't understand how someone can
drown. You just float." (Uncle Steve just retired from the US Coast Guard, mind
you.)
"I'm going to catch
Nemo."
"Taps, taps. Lights out.
Maintain silence about the deck. Now, 2200. Taps."
(Uncle Steve goes to bed every night at ten o'clock. Coast Guard
conditioning.)
"Let me see your glasses.
Jessica says mine are gigantic. [Ricky: Steve, they're huge!] Oh,
well. I guess I'll have to get new glasses before I come up there."
*Daniel*
"Where'd these shells come
from? Oh, well, I guess they came from the water right? They
came from the beach."
"My school didn't have higher
learning. We only had one floor...Get it? Higher
learning? Only one floor?"
"GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!"
(Daniel's reaction to a cockroach Dad threw at him, which was really the
back of the remote control...We discovered that hairspray works wonders
on cockroaches (real or fake).
"SKIP BO!!" (You should all buy
Skip Bo. It's a card game. It kicks Uno's butt.)
"Look, 4-Head!" (Daniel with a
number "four" card stuck to his head.)
"I was hungry. Nothing could stop
me." (Daniel breaking into the condo)
"Yesh...that's a keeper."
"How 'bout noooo?" (Daniel,
Austin Powers drove me crazy, absolutely crazy. But since it is
the only way you can communicate with Cris (he doesn't understand much),
I guess it's okay.)
*Uncle Eddie*
"The noodles are en
route."
"I'll take you to Wal-Mart.
It's open twenty four hours a day." (Wal-Mart is a conspiracy...but
I love it. All we've got is K-mart...I can see why they filed for
Chapter Eleven.)
"Look, Jess! A
rollback!"
"[Me: They sell fish
here?!] Yes, I'll take you to them!" (Uncle Eddie) (We must
have walked two miles down to the other end of Wal-Mart, where my uncle
brought me to the aquariums of fish.)
"How's you leg? I know you were
bleeding profusely." (Uncle Eddie got me caught in a sticker
vine...Plant of Satan.)
"Do you want a Wal-Mart bag to take
with you back home?"
*Aunt Cynthia*
"Steve! I see lightning!"
(Aunt Cynthia, on the boat. We were racing a storm.)
"It was storming so bad we had to
wait inside the Wal-Mart for half an hour!" (A second home to Aunt
Cynthia and Uncle Eddie)
"The green bean casserole's
gone."
*Uncle Donnie*
"Typically, when a shark is swimming,
you'll see two fins. [Dad: Yea, I saw two fins. So, I
saw a shark.] No, I don't know what you saw." (Uncle Donnie)
"[Dad: I saw it jump too.
It had a white underbelly.] Yea, then it was probably a
porpoise...but sharks jump too." (Uncle Donnie)
"Now let me tell you
something..."
"Now that's the probably the biggest
order they've had all day." (Uncle Donnie after we all had ordered
lunch at the Wendy's drive-though. They got confused and messed
up. Too much stuff I guess...)
*Aunt Sue*
"Yo mama's so fat, she comes at you
from ALL directions!"
"Yo mama's so fat that when she puts
on her BVDs, they spell Boulevard!"
*Grandma*
"I ate about four other meals off
that dinner. They gave you a lot."
"We went through five loaves of
banana bread! And then Cristopher comes over my house, looks in my
freezer and finds another one!"
*Uncle Mike*
"And after we get to about here, we
say it's time to call Uncle Ricky." (Uncle Mike, on the
sailboat)
"Martha! Let the sail
down! Let the sail down!" (Uncle Mike, almost running
the sailboat into the pier.)
*Dad*
"Oh no! We only have one more
beer..."
"They're fastly going nowhere."
(Dad, trying to get back into Florida from Alabama)
"I went to two states looking for
penne tonight!" (Dad, on his two hour search for pasta.
Should have just went to Wal-Mart)
"I bought batteries from Wal-Mart once. They didn't last a day. I'm not buying nothing from
Wal-Mart again." (Oh, ok)
*Mom*
A penny for your thoughts! Okay, a
nickel."
"[Melissa: You're pulling like
280 lbs right now.] Help! I cant move!" (Mom, in the pool,
with Melissa, Nicholas and me on her back.)
*Melissa,
Miss "I love my sister, but I'm going to hurt her."*
"Hey Joe! Would you like a cup
of joe? Well, here you go! It's down low! Do you like
Poe from Teletubbies? Don't stub your toe! Don't say
no...Hey Joe! Would ya..." (After Joe, she started with
Bob..ahhhh)
"You know I love you." (Melissa
to me)
*Cris* (Words and phrases, WOOSH)
"Nice." (Apparently, everything
is nice.)
"I already had about ten
muffins. But I'm still hungry." (Bottomless pit, that kid.)
"I got the hairspray!"
(Cris has become quite skilled in exterminating cockroaches.)
" I don't like sunscreen."
*Nicholas*
"We have to make a plan to beat up
Daniel."
"It's the fighting show. C'mon,
Cris! It's starts at 9:50...Hey! Where'd Daniel go? We
have to beat him up!" (Nick, priceless)
"You're stupid, you're poop and
you're the best." (I was the best, thank you.)
"Poop." (It is Nick's equivalent
of Cristopher's "nice.")
"What happens if you lose your
clip? Here, let me give it to Mom. [Me: No, Nick. It's
okay, really.] But what happens if it falls out?"
"Don't wear your earrings in the
pool."
"Where's Uncle Donnie going? [No,
Nick. That's Uncle Steve.] Oh...is there an Uncle
Donnie?"
"Why didn't you go in the bushes,
lady?" (Nicholas to Melissa)
"Don't even freak me out."
(Nicholas, ushering a warning to Cris when the power went out)
*Everybody*
"How'd you get that bruise?"
(Melissa)
"How'd you get that bruise?"
(Cris)
"How'd you get that bruise?"
(Aunt Sue)
"How'd you get that bruise?"
(Mom)
"How'd you get that bruise? It's
ugly."
(Melissa)
*I DON'T KNOW!! AHHH! But it was probably
Melissa's fault.* (Me)
Y'All come
back now, ya hear? |
