Beautiful plumage!
“Remind me to [whatever].”
“Okay, don’t forget to [whatever].”

I’m so stealing that one!
It’s become a game between me and the cashier at my school caf: he says, “What’s up?”, and waits for the brilliant (ok, less than brilliant) punchline.
I’ve already done “the ceiling”, “the sky”, “that way”, “opposite of down”, “my mood”, “the temperature”, “the price of gas”, etc. I’m starting to run out.
It’s nice out!
I think I’ll leave it out.

I used to pull this one on my sister for years.
Sis: Hey, would you make me a sandwich?
Me: Poof! You’re a sandwich!
Of course, now she always gets me back with this one:
Me: Hey, guess what!
Sis: Chicken butt!
Mrs. Map, before the locked door to our house: “Keys?”
Me: (smooch), followed by some sweet nothings in a vaguely Europen accent
And there’s always this one:
You: “Shoot!”
Me: “Bang!”
That’s cute.
