In our college newspaper newsroom on late nights, where my husband and I worked, people would get carried away and say some pretty silly things. If the comments were especially ridiculous they made it to the “Quote Board”—also known as the wall of shame. In an effort to find more humor in my journey of motherhood I’ve started keeping track of some of the funnier things that are said in our home. Here are a few of our recent funnier moments. Enjoy!
“I’d rather get the swine flu than listen to the Jonas Brothers.”
“I see London. I see France. I see Michelle Obama’s underpants.” [Background: We were playing a game as a family and the question we all had to answer was, “Things you should not say to the First Lady.”]
“I’m picky with boys. I learned that from Mom. She was picky, too.”
“Don’t put cheese between your toes.” Followed by, “And don’t put salami on your feet.”
“No, it’s ‘pardon me,’ not ‘fart on me.’” [Background: Our daughter learned a song in preschool that ended with the lyrics “pardon me.” Not knowing what “pardon me” meant, our daughter substituted the phrase with one with which she was more familiar.]
“Liar, liar your pants on fire,” said one one our daughters to another during a sibling argument. Confused by the phrase, our daughter lifted up her dress to look at her bottom and shot back with, “My bum not on fire!”
Question: What would make your quote board?
