Thank(mas): People Say...

(if you wanna know what's going on, click here.)

I am still not on top of anything (as displayed by my absence of a post yesterday), so today I am posting on things already said. Things that people say to me that make me laugh. 

Kids:

5-year-old girl I nannied ( on Thanksgiving): “Those people who were from new york came over on the rose ship and they only had barbecue with salt, raw, to eat and raw rice. That’s all I really know what they had to eat. They were on the ship for fifty on fifty days and then they found land and we taught them how to find fish and make a big house because they were in the little house and some of those people died. There were only this many left and there used to be a hundred. “

8-yr-old on heaven. “We can eat bacon all day and never puke”

9-year-old boy I nannied: “You never know how valuable breath is ‘till you rap. I’ve known that for many years.”

9-year-old boy I nannied (trying to describe a receptionist):

 “She’s one of those ladies who sit there with the big hair and says hello.”

The Kids I nannied.

5-year-old girl I nannied (on making soup out of leaves etc outside):

Me: “What is the secret to great chicken noodle soup?”

Girl: “The sauce of yummy...chicken noodle soup is all about having fun. But don’t touch it while I’m gone, there’s nasty ingredients.”

5-year-old girl I nannied: “I think that every flower that blooms, there is a baby there...that’s why (my brother) just saw one flower, but I saw two. Cause it saw me...” 

5-year-old girl I nannied (while we play in the back yard):

Me: “I’m cold Ellie.” 

Girl: “I might could sew you a jacket.” 

Me: “Sew me one?” 

Girl: “Yes, out of leaves, that is why I live in nature.” 

Friends:

Dustin Martin: "I feel like there is a bunch of miniature attractive 

women hugging my feet when I wear these shoes."

Taylor Wade: "You know that cooler in there, with the drinks (at a restaurant), there was a sign on the door that said, 'Every drink in this cooler has to be dated' and I was like, 'Hello there chocolate milk, whats say we get out of here?'" 

Taylor

Me: "The line is, 'are you choking?"

Katlyn Mobley: "That's a problem."

Taylor Wade:"When I was washing dishes by the sink, my phone had service. But when I stepped away from the sink, the phone said I was roaming. I'm not sure, but I think my phone thinks I'm a woman."

Katlyn, me, and Mary Beth - who is also hilarious, but I have no specific quotations.

Katlyn Mobley:"When life gives you cheese. Make it a grilled one."

Ben Helton: "I got an idea for a small business...'Goody Tissues'. A Christian kleenex company. 'Satan is blown away by our low prices!'...This is the brainstorming process people..you've got to dig through the hard unattractive rock to find the rubies and gems."

Ben Helton

Jenna Lacey: "I'm just gonna have to break his heart (Winston the dog). Cause I'm a cowgirl. I love and leave, that's how it is....I like to fly solo. I can't be tamed."
