Quote of the Day, part XLIV

Me, during Family Home Evening: "How can we repent of 'persecuting your brother'?"
William: "Pick me! I just barely did it!"

Jacob, when I showed him the twin coverlet I had purchased for his bed right before we moved:
"I like that. Whoa, wait! Are we really going to get beds that big?"
Me, thinking that this boy has been sleeping on a camping cot on the floor for entirely too long.
This move didn't come a day too early!

Torture

I hurt my ankle playing soccer yesterday and since I can't walk I'm in bed with a bag of frozen peas whilst the family is at church.  Just before leaving my sweet dotto accidentally spilled some of her precious perfume on my hands and pj's.  I'm dying!  The ankle just hurts, the perfume is slowly killing me. 

She got it from a neighbor's yard sale--three little bottles, 1 penny each.  At first I thought the neighbor was being nice to Clara by selling them to her at such an affordable price, but now I think she's a member of the mafia.  As Michael walked out the door he caught a whiff and instantly became sturn and whispered, "While we're gone you've GOT to get rid of those things!" 

This may be my last post.  If my husband comes home and finds me dead, you, Gentle Readers, will know what happened.  Don't bother with an autopsy, just dip my remains in paraffin and send them on to the Body Exhibit at the Luxor Casino, where they can show what a sprained left ankle looks like.  At my funeral I want my father to.................

You will be deeply missed...

Would you like me to sing at your funeral and kill off all of your friends and family so you won't have to be without them for long?

Well, at least your pjs are really cute. Can I put my initials on them?

Oh, if only I had come to soccer yesterday I could have possibly saved you from your pitiful state. You look too beautiful lying there..."She lay as if asleep" Poor Anna, you will be missed.

What I want to hear about is your "other" life as a ghostwriter for David Letterman and Will Farrell. Such good stuff, my friend. Love it.
