More than one quotes incident happened around here today, so I took it as a sign from the Flying Spaghetti Monster that I write a post about quotes. Ramen.
In language arts class today, I was giving a book talk on one of my favorite new kids' books, called Middle School is Worse Than Meatloaf by Newbury Honor author Jennifer Holm. One of the characters in the book, Henry, refers to himself as the only kid who can drink milk by sucking it up a straw with his nose. Many of the girls were completely grossed out by this, but one of my boys said, "That's not gross. It's what we men call a super-talent." Apparently "we men" now includes 11-year-olds.
Yesterday, Husband and I received an e-mail from the oft-mentioned Chickadee wherein she shared this quote from a blog she reads, "Help us ObeWon Obama. You're our only hope." Being a Star Wars purist, I'd have spelled it ObiWan Obama, but that's just me.
Husband replied that one good quote deserves another, and served up the following:
“I felt a great disturbance in the Market... as if millions of Congressmen cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.”
I'm sure W and all of Congress would like to quote Han Solo right now, "It's not my fault!" They would be wrong.
