My Mom had (still has) a habit for writing down funny things that those around her say that are--usually--accidentally funny. It's mostly all in a book that we all pull out once in a while to read to eachother.

Things like how my brother started saying things like "When I was a little 'nipper in the old country," at the age of four. (Don't ask me how to spell Knipper/nipper..)

I've inherited about 1/2 that habit so here are some things I recently found while going in my journal--although there are many more I should have written down that I no longer remember.

Melissa Talks With Mom Quotes
Melissa was in a very "matter-of-fact" mood one day in February 2003. Mom was in the mood to discuss feet.

(Melissa enters the room wearing cute moccasin shoes)
Mom: "Aww, look at her little feet! You must be a little Indian"
Melissa: "That's not politically correct."

Mom: "Don't you have any clean socks?"
Melissa: "No. Well, yes. I'm just making good use of them."

Melissa: "Well, you learn something new every day. Did you know I have a hole in my sock?"
Mom: "No."
Melissa: "See you learn something new every day."

Abigail and Laurie just graduated

Abigail: "Lately, When I need something to do. I put on a cd and try to write down all the lyrics and rewind it if I miss them. Then I play the song again ad read the lrics all the way through."
Laurie: "That's wierd Abigail."
Abigail: smiles "I know, but I miss taking notes."

I thought these were cute. Miss you all!
