October/November/December quotes

It's been awhile, but here are some Gariety quotes from the end of last year, for your reading enjoyment. (Hoping to get back to "current-status" within the month.  Who can believe it's March already??)

Sydney:  Please pass the handzitizer. (hand sanitizer)

One night at the dinner table we were having a conversation about popularity.  It went something like this:

Dallin:  When I'm in High School I want to be sort of popular.  I want lots of friends, but only good ones.  Not snotty kids or kids who do drugs.

Daphne:  Yeah, me too.  

Sean:  Well I don't want to be popular.  I don't want any friends.  Well, maybe just one friend.  Wait--there's no recess in High School, right?  Nevermind.  I won't need any friends.  

Sydney: Mom, I think you're popular.

Hayden:  No, Sydney, Mom is NOT popular.

Dallin:  Mom, I'm really good at talking.  Sometimes I'm so good, my teachers get annoyed at me.

One day we were having a conversation about marriage and who was going to marry who when they grow up.  I said, "Guys, honestly, the chances of you marrying someone you already know are pretty slim."

Sydney:  Well, I know who I'm going to marry.

Me:  Who?

Sydney:  Cooper.  I have a crush on him.

Sean:  I don't know why but Hayden gets mad at me because I draw better than him.

Sydney:  I should not be scared of snails.  I shouldn't.

Me:  I get so annoyed when people in both lanes are going EXACTLY the speed limit! Somebody needs to speed up!

I made something for dinner that Sydney didn't like and her response was classic Sydney:  "Ugh, can't we just have some vegetables?"  (That girls LOVES salad and other veggie sides.  It's awesome!)

Me:  Guys, if you all work hard and get your jobs done quick, I'll make some pancakes for breakfast!

Bennnett:  Tootee? (cookie)

Me:  Cookie?  No, we're not having cookies for breakfast.

Bennett:  Whyyyyy?

Daphne:  Sydney, do you have a boyfriend?

Syd:  Yes.

Daphne:  Is he from your preschool?

Syd:  Yes.

Daphne:  What's his name?

Syd:  Cooper.

Daphne:  Have you kissed him?

Syd: Ew, no!  That's gross!

During callbacks for King and I,  I was asked to sing for two supporting roles, as well as the lead.  When they asked me to sing for Tuptim, I felt a little deflated because I knew that meant they were considering someone else for Anna.  Well, the next morning as I was talking about it, Sean said, "Why didn't you just mess up on purpose so they wouldn't pick you for that part?"

One night while I was trying to get Hayden to go to bed he said, "Mom, there are girls at my school who have crushes on me!  I mean, I don't think I'm bad-I think I'm, you know, good.  But I don't think I'm HOT!  It's crazy."

Sydney: Can Aelyn come play?

Me:  I'm not sure today is the best day.  I could bring her here today, but I can't take her home.

Sydney:  (eyes getting very wide) You mean, she could stay here FOREVER????

Sydney crying because their snowman was melting.

Sean:  No wondering he's melting.  You guys used Flamin' Hot Cheetos on his face!
