"They're punishing me for my success!"
Said by a daughter during her senior year in high school when she failed to communicate with her employer for three weeks about all of her extra curricular activities that would prevent her from working. When she finally talked to them, they had assumed she had quit, and were perturbed that she had not been in contact.
"I'm twenty years old. You don't have to tell me how to share."
Said by a daughter who assumes what's yours is hers and what's hers is hers.
"I can't drive that direction because I don't go that way!"
Said by a daughter when asked why she didn't drive a certain route so that she could get gas at a closer station than the one she usually went to on the way to school. But because this gas station wasn't on the school route, she couldn't go there, even though it was closer to home. So, she asked her dad to drive her to school because she didn't have enough gas in her car to get to school.
"Michael Jackson....Michael Jackson.....I'm going to marry Michael Jackson one day! Michael Jackson is my uncle!"
Said by a daughter who is a...you guessed it...Michael Jackson fanatic. Um, Michael Jackson is dead.
"My bottom is the most sensitive part of my body!"
Said by a daughter who was wrestling with Loren. But then the more he wrestles with her, you can throw in anywhere there's connective tissue.
"I could have $300 in my pocket tomorrow!"
Said by a son who is currently unemployed. Um....we don't want to know. Hence, we don't ask.
Mary -- I had no idea you were blogging, and I love it! When Kevin and I married five years ago, we attempted to blend a family of six kids. Overall, it has not worked out so well; we're together, but his two daughters remain very unhappy. I sincerely hope you have better luck. :) I look forward to reading all about your experiences!
