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.
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!
