“I was an ICT Coordinator. I know that turning it off and on again solves 90% of problems.” – Malcolm

“Yeah, well, when I was working on an Intensive Care Unit, it didn’t work so well with the life support machines …” – Catherine

“Would you be interested in cutting the cord? Because they let dads do that if they want to.” – Margaret

I've found a few old quotes that never made it in:

* * *

"How do you know I couldn't love you?! Take that knife out of your stomach and you'd actually be pretty hot!" - Margaret

* * *

"I was hoping you were paying so much attention to the sympathetic shoulder-rubbing that you didn't notice the face-stabbing." - Catherine

* * *

"It's the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace." - Margaret
"What is, Leyton?" - Catherine


* * *

Margaret: Max, you have to show leadership by example.
Max: I am NOT going to show leadership by bringing three interns into a porn photoshoot!

  1. I don't know which I enjoy more: reading quotes and remembering the original conversation and laughing like a loon, or laughing at the out of contextness of quotes that make them even funnier.

  2. You didn't make it clear that the Mommy-Marion exchange was:

    Mommy: Wait, they don't die?
    Marion: No, they don't die.
    Mommy: FAIL.

  3. What I love is reading things I SAID and having absolutely no memory of them. :) That must have been a good night!

    Gretchen, wasn't it clear? Your name came first in the tag ("Mommy and Marion"), so I assumed that you spoke first.

    In time-honoured tradition, of course, this has reminded me of the stack of quotes I have to email to you. Just as, when you post those in your next update, it will remind me of the quotes I've amassed since then. And the cycle of life... continues!
