Family Conversations, Part 30

This post will be slightly different from the usual Conversations posts, because it’s things I overheard or were said to me during our vacation. I didn’t note who said what, just the things that were said.

The Scene – we are about to cross the street in Seattle : We must wait until it is safe. But who will save us?
The crosswalk sign changes from a red hand to a white figure : Yay! The white man has saved us!

I don’t know what they’re teaching these kids in social studies these days…


Some Wife : Well, it happens to the best of us…
Child : Like me!

No lack of self esteem in that one.


Some Wife : You don’t need to do that, he’s not highly contagious.
Child : Is he lowly contagious?


Child, counting the ridges on a potato chip : …8, 9, 10. This chip is 10 years old!

I think that might have been just after we saw the redwoods.


Child, after seeing a certain commercial : I don’t want that deodorant. It just says it fights odors all day. I want one that wins.


Child, after observing a senior citizen wearing long sleeves while we were all sweating in shorts : Old people don’t get hot in summer because their white hair reflects the heat.


Child 1 : What am I saying? Yanni, Yanni.
Everyone Else : Laurel, Laurel.
Child 1 : Arrrgh!! Why does nobody hear me!?!


Child 1 : You’re the best brother.
Child 2 : Thanks, you’re the best brother.

I suppose they could both be right.


Bonus Item
Child 1, smacking a random brother on the back with his open hand : 5-star rating!
Smacked Brother, annoyed : Da-aaaaad, he gave me a 5-star rating.

I’m going to blame that one on the public schools too.


Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us, Older than your father..
