Conversation with Bruce. I am trying to be funny:

Me: "You left your wife in a HOT CAR! You could go to jail for that! Luckily no one broke the window to SAVE ME!"

Bruce: "Ummm.. The keys were in the ignition dear."

Me: ***blink**blink** oh....

Conversation with the granddaughters in McDonalds after they witness a bad manager and employee interaction:

My belly hurts from laughing! Conversation between Gracie and Seth, who have not stopped bickering.

Gracie: "Okay sethy, neither of is will be boss…. Now go get that rope!"

Conversation between Gracie and Seth as they are once again bickering:

Me: "You two need to stop bickering. You are family, and we love each other in this family."

Conversation with Gracie as we go to Meijers:

Gracie; "Gramma, can we get a big bag of M&M's for my school party?"
