A very wise woman once said that (Madeleine Khan as Mrs. White in Clue). She also said several other things, but I’ll reserve those quips for future titles if needed.
Actual transcript from a conversation my daughter had with one of her many suitors. This occurred yesterday at the pool.
background notes: Crisana and her friend Timmy had found a yellow kickboard in the pool and were playing with it. Crisana had been playing with it and Timmy asked for it. Crisana didn’t want to share it, so I reminded her that it wasn’t ours, so she had to share it. She handed it over and let Timmy play with it for 5-10 minutes.
Crisana:Â Can I please have the kickboard, Timmy?
Timmy: No, I’m surfing. You can have it later.
Crisana (Seeing her first tactic didn’t work, tries another): If you do, I’ll marry you…
Timmy (popping right up): Here!
C: Thank you. Now I am going to marry you. (big sweet smile)
Timmy, very pleased with how things have worked out for him, turns away to go play with some other toys, ostensibly airplanes or trucks or cars or something.
C (under her breath): Actually, not. I’m going to marry Michael.
Kids today. Where do they learn these things? *shakes head*
