(one of my first graders has on an angry face because I made him sit out of an activity)

MS.J: What's wrong with you, R? Why you got that face on? You got bills to pay or somethin? I know my face be lookin like that the first of the month.

****************************************************
MEL: Did you receive this information via paper towel, by chance?
(referring to the note left by her former advisor that was on a paper towel and simply said: "Gone for the weekend. Getting married.")

------------------------------------------------------

KELLY: Well you don't know who you're retaining yet, do you?
CHAD: Oh we know who we WANT to retain. Most of em you can tell the first day. They're walkin in the door and it's just like, "Yeah, we'll be doin this again next year."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

KELLY: Sometime ask Brenna to do the laugh she does to make me laugh.
AMY: Wow. You guys have a lot of time on your hands.

BRENNA: I said, "don't you like to walk down memory lane?" and dad said, "Nope. It's a dead end."
DAD: Don't do drugs.
MOM: I did, but I still remember stuff.

*********************************************************

BRENNA: "Dead End Lane"-- that's what we can call him instead of Bricky.
KELLY: Bricky? Yeah- where did that come from?
MOM: Amy came up with that.
BRENNA: No, I came up with it because talking to him is like talking to a brick wall.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

BRENNA: I'm really good at looking like I don't care.

------------------------------------------------

BRENNA: I just don't get her....cognitive process.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(mom's thinking of letting her hair go white)
KELLY: What will dad think? What if he doesn't think you're sexy with white hair?
MOM: He probably won't even notice.

-------------------------------------------------

(about their trip to mexico)
KELLY: Did you go on a lot of romantic walks on the beach?
MOM: Not exactly. We went on a lot of LONG walks. I was like, "What is this, an endurance test?"

**********************************************************

(Kristin's worrying because 30 is right around the corner)KELLY: Well they say that 30's the new 20.
KRISTIN: I know. They also say that brown's the new black, which I really hope is true because I look good in earth tones.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

KRISTIN: There are only two people in the world that I hate and one of them is that Carrie girl. I don't know who the other one is yet but I know there's somebody else out there.

DAVE: You should maybe talk to this kid about hygiene cuz he smells like a shit sandwich.

------------------------------------------------------------

KELLY: I'm putting you in my wedding just to torture you.
ADAM2 (nicki's adam): You do that.
KELLY: I will!
ADAM2: And when is that going to be again?

*************************************************************

SARAH T: We have a special class. Special...kind of like the Olympics.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(to prospective roommate)
MELISSA: I guess we should talk about guests. As far as guys go, Tom stays here about two weekends a month.
(looks at me)
KELLY: Yeah, and well...whenever I can get someone drunk enough to come here they do. But that doesn't happen very often.
