This was a post on the replacement board a while back that I never got around to posting on, so I felt that now would be a good time to revive it.
My two big ones that I never thougth I’d ever hear myself say:
“How many calories are in this?”
“How’s my hair?”
“I’m a housewife. This is my husband and our three kids.”
shiver SCARY!!

I am happier married than I was single.
Nah, I do not feel like a beer tonight.
Yeesh, what happened to me-- I think I have been domesticated.

You get his wrists, I’ve got his ankles. We should be able to move him before anyone finds out. You’ve got your truck here, right?

You better knock it off or I’ll give you something to cry about.
“You kiss your children with that mouth?” Granted, I said it to a disgruntled customer.
“We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it!” A friend and I stumbled upon a gay pride rally. We joined the chant, even though it doesn’t apply to us. Gotta show the love, right?
I’m really not in the mood for chocolate… :eek:
“That’s not music, that’s noise!”
“Can’t we just cuddle?”
“Would you like fries with that?”
I’ve got “becoming my mother” issues too:
“Take that out of your mouth! You don’t know where it’s been.”

“Hey, I just cleaned that floor!”
“Turn some lights off!”
“If you open a Coke then finish it!”
And teaching is almost as bad as parenting:
“What is with these kids today?”
“Have you no pride in your work?”
“You owe your classmates a written apology.”
“I’m so old.”
“My sister’s High School graduation is on the 28th.”
“I just got back from Star Wars Episode 2.”
“I can’t stay, I have to work tommorrow.”
“I went to the gym today.”
“I lost 70 pounds.”
“All these songs sound the same.”
“Bling-bling” - it’s used by me now as a sort of catch-all exclamatory particle. Example - I find a hundred thousand dollars lying in the street in a box with my name and photo on it, and just for safety, the words ‘yes, YOU, ya red-haired, five-foot-ten dope’ scribbled. I say - ‘bling-bling, I’m RICH!’.
I honestly hated that expression a year and a half ago. Now, I love it.

Not tonight
You’ll understand when you’re older
No I don’t want any sweets
When I was your age… (too much really)
If your friends jumped off a bridge…
“My composter makes my life complete.”
“Sure these shoes are ugly, but they’re comfortable and that’s what counts.”
Did you make a big poopie for Daddy?
“Use your head for something besides a hat rack!”
“You’re gonna put your eye out!”
“So help me, if I have to get up…”
“Well, babe…it’s 8:30. I’m turnin’ in.”
(Cranky: Still haven’t given up on the cute shoes…I only have one ugly pair – and they ARE comfortable!) I just can’t give up the heels yet!
