Jeff: "I wanted to know if I could marry your daughter."
Mom: "Which one?"
- Great moment in engagement history
Mom: "What area code is 925? I just received my first ever text message. It said, What ya doin? Jesus is wonderful."
Dad: "I think 925 is the area code in Heaven."
"Guests will be given real clown noses to wear."
- My Mom, on the clown funeral she will be missing by visiting me this weekend. I really hope I can find this one on Flickr...
"Are you going to post this to that blog you used to have?"
- Mom, after I took a picture at the Christmas Tree Farm (I couldn't clue her in on the fact I was time traveling, so I just let the comment be)
"Your Dad was told the machine was 'out of whack' today."
- On why my father had to miss his scheduled medical treatment - I guess it's for the best that he wasn't in the machine when it went "out of whack!"
"I'm sure there are hotels down the street."
- My mother, after telling my sister she was very interested in buying a 1 bedroom home by the beach. This was her response, after my sister asked where we'd stay, and for that matter future grandchildren, when we came to visit.
"We could tell which one you were because of your butt."
- My Mom, to my sister the triathlete about watching her in the water during the swim portion of the event among 700 other swimmers. She actually said "bun" - because my sister has really long hair and had it twisted into a bun under her swim cap - but we all heard butt and it makes for a better story...
"It says, if found please return for reward."
- Sticker on my mother's new 5.5-inch, portable black and white tv/radio (listing price - around $40)
"I bet when you were 16 you never thought you'd be married to a [insert age more than double that of mine] year old man!"
- Me, to my Mom. Yes, they've been together since they were 16!
