The chanteuse best known for “Foolish Games” and “Building a Mystery” has her own brand of cheese curls?

Sheesh. First singing, then poetry books, then acting, now snack foods. The woman’s taking over the world!

Oh yeah? Well, so’s your old man!

I doubt very seriously that the cool kids listen to Sarah Mclachilan.

If you do then you’re a dork.

**jarbabyj** , is that my sparkly pink ink Justin Timberlake pen with the fluffy top in your desk?

You know I let you hold it yesterday when you told me you wanted to have 10,000 of his babies, but I didn’t mean you could _keep_ it.

\<skips in clutching a handful of envelopes\>

I’m having a party and these are the invitations and they’re just for the cool kids and none of you are coming because all the cool kids are in the 5th grade and that’s who I’m inviting so you can just forget it because I’m not inviting any of you so there!!!

Unless you give me your dessert at lunch…
