Here are some quotes said by my friends or family members in the last six months... quotes that I found so entertaining I just had to write them down. Please enjoy.
1. Context: the day my brother Andrew got home from his mission in Peru. He struggled a little bit with his English (since he was used to speaking only Spanish), so at dinner that night, my other little brother noticed a blunder of Andrew's and said this little gem: "Can you not eat in English either?" Taylor is now in the MTC learning Spanish for his own mission. I can't wait until he comes home and I get to use his own words against him.
2. Context: the day Andrew got home from his mission. To prove that Andrew struggled a little bit with his English - here's something he said to my brother Taylor in response to his witty quote. (This comes complete with a yoga-like bow, too) "I commemorate you." (Instead of saying, "I commend you.")
3. Context: Christmas. Playing Dominoes with the family. My StepDad says: "Ahh, blueberries, dominoes, and jazz. A little piece of heaven. (pause) Oh, and of course family."
4. Context: Christmas. Same Dominoes game. Before we started playing we went and got frozen yogurt. My mom got my StepDad a half-gallon size because he asked for a big one. He ate the whole thing. Then this whole exchange happened: Ron - "I'm afraid to cough because yogurt might come out of all my holes." Mom - "Okay, but did you go yet?" (she was referring to the game) Ron - "Wait, what do you mean?"
And the next of these little quotes come from my dear friend Kathryn, who has her own unique way of wording normal things and making them sound strange.
5. "I don't kid about Churros."
6. "If I die, at least my undies gotta be clean."
7. "I cannot express to you my genuine fear of lactation."
And last, but certainly not least, this one:
8. Context: I went on a ward temple trip during a BYU Basketball game a few weeks ago. When we got out of the temple, everyone was checking the score to the game. Previously we were on the subject of how much I hate mayonnaise. When a friend of mine saw the score and that BYU had lost to UNLV, he said, "Oh... this stinks! This is worse than mayonnaise!"
I'd never heard basketball compared to mayonnaise before, but I think the comparison really works. I plan to take that one with me for future use.
You're welcome.

I hate mayonnaise also! Sorry I haven't commented in the last forever, I didn't realize you were posting stuff. Blogger didn't want to show me, so now I just have to check it on my own :)
Apparently I was ridiculously far behind cause I missed this gem of a post. You know what's really sad...I don't remember saying half of that stuff, but it all sounds like it'd come out of my mouth : )
