The start of school and Grannies Great Gatlinburg Vacation




Conversation with Nate, who came to chemistry class with me:
Me: "We gotta get in before the lecture starts!"
Nate: “LECTURE?? You are getting a LECTURE?"
Me: "Yeah...when the professor talks and I take notes."
Nate: "Whew! I thought you were getting a LLLLECTUUURRRE!"

Conversation with Gracie, who has waded up to her knees in the water fully clothed:
Me: "Gracie! What. Are. You. DOING!!"
Gracie: "I AM...WASHING MY SHOES!!"

Conversation with Gracie who loves McDonalds hash browns:
Me: "Okay Gracie we can get hash browns. Do you want one or two?"
Gracie: "Two!"
Me: "Are you going to eat two?"
Gracie: "Yep!"
Me: "Do you want orange juice?"
Gracie: "Yep!"
Me: "Are you going to drink it?"
"Gracie: Nope!"
Me: "Then why do you want one?"
Gracie: "Because you said I could have one!!"
Me: "Yes but if you have no intention of drinking it...."
Gracie: "Maybe I better not get one."

Quote from dad as we wait for the doctor: "These damned doctors are passing me around like a cheap bottle of wine in a hobo jungle!"

Conversation with Gracie on both of our first days of school.
Me: "Did you make any friends at school, Gracie?"
Gracie: "Yep. Did you make any friends at school Gramma?"
Me: "Yep. I made one. Her name is Amanda!"
Gracie: "You made just ONE friend Gramma?"
Apparently Gracie is concerned I won't make friends at school. I had to reassure her I would be okay. :)

Countdown to Grannies Great Gatlinburg Vacay with Nathan and Gracie! Taking dad to my sisters house, then its off to seriously push some boundaries in these kids. Super hero star gazers arent born. They are created entirely by Grammas. So looking forward to the conversation of three generations in the same vehicle for 9 hours.

Nate: "Actually Nate, YOU are the weird accent here. Haha!

Conversation with Nate:
Nate: "Gramma, can we watch MTV?"
Me: "No!"
Nate: "Why not?"
Me: "Because it is mindless...fluff. Lets watch some Duck Dynasty."

Conversation with Gracie in the hotel room:
Gracie: "Gramma, did you know that if you pick up the phone, a lady on the other end will bring you food so you can eat in your bed...AND if you say "I want you to change my sheets," she HAS to come and do it PRONTO!

Conversation with Gracie:
Gracie: "Gramma I am hungry."
Me: "Okay. We can go to get something when Nate gets up."
Gracie: "Alright. But for now I am eating gum 'cause my teeth need to chew on something." :


Quote from Gracie as we pull in to the Gatlinburg Hilton: "We can do ANYTHING here...except smoke..we can't smoke..."

Quote from Gracie: "My mom says you can't play with your food, but that's all some kids wanna do...play with their food and whine."

Quote from Gracie this morning as she butters toast for great grandpa: "My toast tastes just like homemade!"

Conversation with Nathan at my sister Debbie’s Tennessee home:
Nate: "Gramma, there is some bell going off out here.."
Me: "What? A bell?"

Me: "Nope."
