My family is crazy. I think I've mentioned this before. Due to this concentration of crazy, we tend to utter some pretty amusing phrases. Anything you say can and will be held against you. And it will be recorded for all eternity. This is where the refrigerator comes in to play. As soon as someone says something worth remembering, family members quickly respond with: "refrigerator quote!" The offending family member hangs his/her head in shame, struck with the horrifying realization that they just said something stupid. Occasionally, if you're lucky, you'll make the fridge if you say something really funny... but it's rare. We're not that nice. We'd rather nail you for your stupidity.
Here are some of my personal favorites. You'll notice a recurring theme. Dad's food obsession and my sisters' just plain zany proclamations...
Dad-
1. " I can't leave this salad alone!"
2. " It seems as I get older I find I have this love affair with pancakes. I can't seem to get enough."
3. "What a keen dessert!"
4. "I'm fond of these noodles!"
5. " Don't let that gravy go too far!"
Corinne-
1. "We got caught in a school of emo's!"
2. " My type has metal in his face."
3. "Rugged tree men...I like those guys."
4. " I don't want to go to church on Christmas."
5. " I swear, one night that scarecrow is going to come alive and murder me."
Oh my crazy family! ...What will they come up with next?
*footnote*
My all time favorite quote ever is actually from my mother:.."We may be dysfunctional, but we eat well!" ...truer words were never spoken...
