David to Alex “We throw balls. We throw gang signs. We do not throw food at the table.”
My MIL to me “You look great. Did you put on makeup?”
David to the group “It’s all fun and games until you break something and die.”
Me to my sister “The first time we met the neighbor girl she said ‘I’m allergic to penix’.”
My sister to Alex “Your hair is like a monster.”
My brother-in-law, imitating my sister “I’m so upset. I’m grouchy. I live in a trash can.”
My sister to my brother-in-law “Don’t touch me with that, I’ll kill you.”
My neighbor “I’m warm, shut up, go away.”
My brother-in-law “It’s the common names I can’t remember. It’s like ‘Your name is Chris? Ah, crap, I forgot it already.”
My father to David and I “I only want one thing for Christmas: make me another on of these.” (points to Alex)
I love, “Your hair is like a monster.” Hilarious.
Aren't families grand? LMAO @ “we don't throw food at the table.” Awww, com'on, why not?!?
Also, that last quote, the one from your dad … No pressure, eh?
Leave it to a MIL to assume makeup is needed to look great, huh?
I feel like I personally string words together that you might never put together unless you were a monkey sitting at a typewriter.
This is a great post. I will have to start keeping better notes about what going on in my house.
Your dad has spoken…
“I'm so upset, I'm grouchy, I live in a trashcasn.” Genius.
Great quotes.
My favorite new word to come out of the holidays was “smarshpillows”, you know for hot chocolate.
I don't know why that tickled me so.
Tonight I shall tell my husband I'm allergic to penix.
they all made me giggle, but i LOVE the last one. isn't grandparent love so freakin awesome!? i love seeing my dad with b. it makes me smile.
I say “Don't touch me with that or I'll kill you” all the time.
I'm just not gonna tell you who I say it to.
Love these quotes. I am going to start using your neighbor's line a lot.
BAHAHAHA the first one is the shiz!
I love that David tells Alex that we throw gang signs. I thought everybody just already knew that?
No pressure with that last comment, huh?
so…any big announcements?
Oddly? My favorite is the “It's all fun & games until you break something & die.”
When Hub explains anything to the kids? As in don't do this because XYZ? Z is always death. No matter what.
If you don't brush your teeth, you might get cavities and then your teeth could break while you sleep and then you could inhale it and DIE.
I'm not sure that there is any scenario in which death could not be a potential outcome, as far as he's concerned. *sigh*
Yo, we throw gang signs, too.
Is your dad going to get his Christmas wish?
My mother's most famous quote: “What was that? It wasn't my problem, so I wasn't listening.”
Man, it sounds like I'd fit right in at your house. That's exactly the kind of communication we use!
I wanna hang out at your house. Not even just during the holidays, but I think, like, all the time.
I love it! Are there any open slots in your family? I'd love to audition. I could even send a resume over.
This whole post is funny/ironic because after every main holiday, event, homecoming, etc…I send out a quotes list to my closest friends. My favorite? “It's the common names I can't remember.” Makes me giggle.
I genuinely LOLed at many of these. In general, I love a family who makes fun of one another.
If you are going to teach Alex to throw gang signs, you need to move. East. But stop before you reach Indiana.
Also, I love David and I know Craig would, too. But I wish Craig wasn't so girly so David would love him and then we could hang out.
Oh, except that I live 500 miles away.
Damn.
Sure Dad. I'll MAKE A WHOLE OTHER HUMAN JUST FOR YOU.
I'm with Gigi. News? Aren't you going to share it with the internet first?
Sounds like there was a lot of love going on. Grouchy trashcan love. The best kind.
As for your dad's xmas gift, you are so behind the 8-ball on that one KLZ. Or ARE you? Hmmm…
This had me cracking up from the first one. David sounds a lot like my hubs. They are all just big kids. Great moments to remember.
Jeez DAD way to beat around the bush…
Is your family afraid to be candid around you for fear of what will end up on THE blog?
teehee!
“It's all fun and games until you break something and die.” that reminds me of Mean Girls. “you will get pregnant. and die!”
yes!
I think I'm allergic to penix, too. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
They're all hilarious. Seriously, you hang with some truly funny folks, but my favorite, because I might have said it myself, about my husband?
My brother-in-law, imitating my sister “I'm so upset. I'm grouchy. I live in a trash can.”
Yeah. Those gifts you make yourself are always such a big hit with the grandparents.
And I would love to be a fly on the wall at one of your holiday gatherings. Sounds like a riot.
“We throw ball. We throw gang signs.” ?! -snort- David better not have a blog I don't know about!
How many of these are just perfect for everyday use! These are awesome.
I especially relate to the MIL comment, which I have heard myself. Or “you did something with your hair”.
So, get out there and make another Alex. You've been charged with a challenge.
Wow, Christmas around your house sounds so much more exciting than it is around mine.
Rock on.
Wait a minute… did we have Christmas at the same house??? A lot of these could have been said at my own table!
LOL!! I especially liked
“Don't touch me with that, I'll kill you.”
AWESOME!!
I found you through Karen's Blog Post. She's right, You ROCK! ;D Following you now! ((HUGS))
I'm so glad gang signs are allowed at your table, I'm not sure we could be friends otherwise.
I'm hanging out with your family next Christmas.
my quote? “please stop touching your penis during dinner”
good times.
ahahhaa, these are hilarious. “Don't touch me with that I'll kill you.” I've been there girl friend. I also like the common names quote. It's so true. If a person's name is John or Chris, I'm going to to forget it in about ten seconds.
I'm not sure what's funnier, all of the quotes or the image I have in my head of you spending time with you family carrying a notepad & paper just WAITING to jot down the hilariousness they say.
Love the MIL one. WHy? Because I live it.
Do you like your mother in law? Because I'm on the fence about her. (Yours, not mine.)
OMG. I love all of these. Esp. the gang signs. I want to see you throwing gang signs. Please.
