An Anthology of Recent Quotes


Christina said she's going to read my blog today and I feel guilty for not having written anything for a few days. boo. So here is an update.

Things that have happened:

1. I went to HEB.

Check-out Boy: “Do you need a carry out?”
C: (stares)
Check-out Boy: “Do you need a carry out?”
C: “No thanks.” (has no idea what a carry out is. what's a carry out?)
Check-out Boy: “Are you sure you don’t want a carry out?”
C: “What is that?” (what is the deal with carry outs?)
Check-out Boy: “When this guy over here carries out all your groceries to your car. Or he can carry YOU and give you a piggy back ride.”
C: “That sounds like the way to travel.”
Check-out Boy: “I’m going to own a grocery store and everyone is going to get carried out on piggy-back.”

2. I talked to Rachel.

R: "It snowed the other day. Shoot! It's bright out! Like an atomic bomb went off!"

3. I talked to my Dad on Valentine's Day.

Dad (answers phone): "Hi Valentine."
C: "Hi Dad."
Dad: "Wish you were here so we could eat chocolates together."
C: "Do you have any chocolates?"
Dad: "No."

4. I talked to Jessica.

C: (looks out the window) "Look at that little dog wearing a jumpsuit! It's so cute! I wish we had a dog...
Jessica: (unimpressed with the idea of a dog) "I just wish I had a jumpsuit..."

That's all I can think of. Oh, except that I was thinking and the next skill I want to develop is being able to tell temperatures. I never know what people mean when they say it's '50 degrees out' or '75 degrees out.' Does that mean wear a tank top? Or a parka? I hope to someday be able to understand what '50 degrees out' means.

And THAT'S all I can think of.
