Quotes that will live on ... because I write them down!

While listening to a re-make of Somewhere Over the Rainbow I was reminded of a memorial video Michael put together for a friend whose sister passed away. I really like the song, but each time I hear it, I'm reminded of the loss of my friend's sister. Michael has the same problem with another song involving rainbows. I declared at breakfast that morning while hearing the song that I wanted a song that basically couldn't be ruined played at my memorial. Amira chimed in, "I know! How about Poker Face by Lady Gaga?"



Last week as we walked up the front path to my in-laws Michael said, "Okay, is everyone carrying something? Rex, you have the pie. Valerie, you have the yams. Amira has treats for Oscar. Tiffany, you have the wine. Good. Let's see ... what I am carrying? Oh, yeah, the mortgage."



Last night we went out to dinner and enjoyed some Indian food. As we sat round the big family table Amira declared, "Okay, I'm Carrie (from Little House on the prairie series). Valerie, you're Laura." Then she looks across at Rex with a wicked grin and says, "... and you're MARY!" Valerie chimed in, "Yeah. Mary's blind." Poor Rex didn't even have come back for that one.



Funny, I can actually see the resemblance to the kids there ... really.

It's not so much as a quote as a car story that involves me turning a corner (probably a little too quickly) and Amira shouting from the backseat, "Great! Now there is soup EVERYWHERE!" I looked in the rear view mirror to see her face covered with tomato soup. I mean, who brings soup in the car?

I think she just Mommed My Ride.
