Best Family Quotes of 2007

One of my cousins sends a short quote list from her family each year with their Christmas card. There is one quote per person, and she uses it to tell what happened to them during the year, and show a little of each person's personality.

After sifting through 12 pages of funny quotes (made mostly by Sage) from this year, I'm not sure I can claim these quotes tell you much about my family, except that we're weird. But here are a few funny things that make me laugh every time I read them. [I'm the record keeper, and as such have edited out my own silly quotes! That is called literary license!]

“Any house that does not have an ice cream scooper is not furnished” --Mark

"I’m a naughty girl when I take the books out (of the moving box) and put them right here" -Sage

“We will move to Utah, and Becca will see me, and she will be so crazy to spin me, and she will spin you, too, Mommy” --Sage

“The only thing sporty about me is my bra!” –Danielle

“At least someone is being assertive with my life” –Suzy

“She may be white, but she’s intelligent” –Jordan about Eliza

“I forgot to drink vomit” –Mark re: his bad tasting medicine

“Let’s go get in your discipline cupboard” “Can that quote be anonymous?” --Danielle

J: “Give me a kiss.” M: “I’m married.” J: “I’m married, too.” M: “To Scranz [Mark’s favorite cat growing up]…same-sex marriage!” [I think it’s time for someone to be done with their “Gender, Sexuality and the Law” class]

I tried to hug Mark. M: “No, I’m married.” J: “To whom?” M, looking around: “To that doll.”

“This movie is on drugs.” --Rebecca about “Meet the Robinsons”

--"We are happy because we are girls. And we love to eat." –Sage to Becca

“Leche mongers anonymous. That’s what’s going on in here.” -Mark to the fridge full of 4 gallons of milk

"Is the food happy when we eat it?" -Sage

“That [wedding present] cost me nothing…except a lifetime of marriage.” –Danielle

“I have big teeth, too. They just happen to not look like Mater’s.” --Mark

They should do “elf yourself’ with “wanna love you tender” -Mark

“Where are the Milky Way darks, so I can go off chocolate?” --Mark

“We’re talking about my eggs…they are aging!” –Krista

“You got crumbs on me, mommy, and that makes me so, so sad.” -Sage

"Don’t you want to have some more chocolate, so you’ll feel real happy that you went off it, because you’ll feel real sick?" --Mark

“If you don’t choose one for me, Mommy, you can go lie down on the couch and have a little time out.” --Sage

"Jacob needs to take an H-O-T nap." --Sage after she learned how to spell her first word while we were (appropriately) in Arizona this summer.

“That’s enough undies for an army of bums” –Becca re: Sage’s Christmas present of 10 pairs of underwear

Maybe my New Year's Resolution could be to say less weird things. Or at least to not admit to them online.
