Oh yeah? I’ll make it fly all right, right up your @$$ ! ! !
Moooooommmmm! Hurry up! I’m going to be late for soccer practice!
No, you are NOT going out tonight young lady! You are going to stay home and finish your potions homework! ! !
Well, maybe I’ll take this broom to the Christmas party. It dances better than you do anyway! ! !

Yeah, you should have. She’s still a very pretty girl. I have a weakness for black cats, so I’m biased.

1. She said we’d go to the ice cream shop right after we scare the kids at Lover’s Leap, but then she said she just needed a minute on Facebook…and I’m getting hungry…

Since Mystery is a female.
1. “Why don’t you just stop and ask for directions.”
and
#2. “I should have save the $200 and flown coach.”

I saw the first photo, and my first thought was that the kitty (cute, by the way) was shouting “MINE!” My second thought was “Witch? Who needs a stinking WITCH?”
The second photo is a “Did you think I was going to sit on the cold deck?”
I’d choose the first one, for pure cute.

My daughter says that photo #1 is “Cleanup on aisle 2!”. She says that photo #2 is cute, but doesn’t have any caption for it.
