I then wake up choking and gasping for breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Daughter is holding forth on the merits of ice cream as a food] Her: "... in fact, it would be ideal if there was ice cream for every meal." Me: "There you're wrong, and I can refute you with a single word." Her: "Like what? What could possibly be better than ice cream?" Me: "I'm thinking of breakfast in particular, but a case could be made for any meal." Her: (incoherent stewing) Me: "I'll give you a hint. The word ends with 'N'." Her: (more slagging off on foods other than ice cream) Me: "The word is: Bacon." Her: ... "Okay, you win there." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. I hadn't considered that. Although I constantly suffer from allergies and am often congested, so I attribute it to that. It happens infrequently enough that it doesn't pose a problem right now. Still, I'll look into sleep apnea and see if I have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her students got all flustered by the fact they were naked. Purrdence : I could have told them to grow up, but it saved time just to grab a glitter pen and draw some pants on. So now they have FAAAAAABULOUS pants that only draw more attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After what happened to him the first time, you'd think he'd try something different. Purrdence : Well, obviously his brains were in his nose.

"Roger, dispatch!" "Officer in pursuit!" Uncle: "That's great! But it seems like it could use some other dialogue." Me: "Like 'Hey, shut that camera off!'?" Uncle: "Or 'Would you like to negotiate before I write this speeding ticket, gorgeous?'" Me: "Or 'Oh, is this a joint that I just found in your pocket?'" Uncle: "Look, it comes with a nightstick and a badge too." Me: "And handcuffs and a radio. But no pepper spray." 3yo: "And a taser! I need a taser!" Uncle: "Don't taze me, bro!" 3yo: "Then you better behave!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
