The Things We Say

My family has some really good quotes... at least they are funny to me and my family, so maybe only 25% of my readership will laugh. :)

"You just can't get good customer service here."--my 9-year-old brother

"I can't feel my eye!"--my 13-year-old sister

"You planned to use him as a weapon of mass disgustion among other things."--my 20-year-old sister, commenting on my plot of revenge against my 9-year-old brother's teacher. She (the teacher) is a complete idiot, gives too much homework, and told us at the last minute that my dad couldn't go on a field trip with my brother because Mrs. Wong was the "Chosen Parent Chaperone." Oh, and siblings (even adults in law school) are not allowed to go on field trips either. My brother had been talking to us about how excited he was for dad to go on that field trip every day for three months. So, what did I do to the woman who crushed my brother's hopes and dreams? I packed my brother's lunch and gave him a Fiber One bar. You know what they say about beans? Well Fiber One bars have the same effect, only stronger.

"You know, Meg, it's very typical for these lawyers to not get married until they're in their 30's."--Dad
"Honey, will you please stop before the whole family is in tears again?"--Mom

We have also watched a lot of quotable movies this holiday season (sometimes we have watched the same ones over and over and over again). Here is a matching quiz. See if you can match the quote to the movie title.

Quotes

1. A: I found the yellow cake. B: Of course you found the yellow cake; we're in a bakery. A: Not yellow cake cake, the radioactive kind. Although there is some yellow cake cake here too.

2. Give me a proper hug.

3. ALLLLLLLLLVVVVVVVIIIIIIINNNNNN! (This one's not that hard.)

4. A: N.Y. B: What's that? C: No way. B: That's N.W., you idiot.

5. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance, my head is bloody but unbowed.

  1. Hmm. I have only seen one of those movies, so I am going to guess 4A.

  2. D5, B2, E3. I don't know the other two. And about the lawyers getting married and the family crying ... that would so happen in my family!!

  3. Katie and Callie are both correct! Which means the first quote is from Get Smart, which we watched at least five times in one week. Congratulations to the winners!
