Quotables!!

"How old are you?" ~Babah
"Umm... umm... not bery old!" ~2-year-old Kyndal Faith =)

Seeing the kids during lunch on the day of Mom's surgery:
"Lindsey, I thought you were going to the dentist with Mamaw!"  ~Jace
(I gave Rach a confused look)
"That's the only surgery he knows."  ~Rach lol

"Chicken chunkins!!" ~excited Kyndal Faith (how she says chicken nuggets right now - presh!)

"I need scum-screen!" ~K-Faith spraying her cute self with sunscreen :)

"My back huuurts." ~Mom, immediately post-surgery
"I know; I'm sorry about that."  ~Nurse Rustin, (like Justin with an R - he was great!)
"Like a mofo." ~Mom,  talking pretty quietly, but I've heard her and Rach jokingly say that before so I caught it (exactly what's written; not the actual cuss word)
"What??" ~Nurse Rustin
"Like... really bad." ~Mom
(I'm sad for her pain, but I was pretty much bent over laughing in the back of the room right then! I mentioned it to her another time when she was less drugged up, and her response was "I meant it!" lol)

"What is that on my feet?" ~Mom
"Oh, that's to keep you from getting blood clots... it just squeezes the muscle to simulate walking." ~Rustin
"Well, it's a thorn in my side!" ~Mom, being dramatic and making me laugh!

"What do I need to do? Some side straddle hops or something!?" ~Mom, cracking jokes with the nurses concerned about her low blood pressure ("Side straddle hops" is what they called jumping jacks at Channing High School - makes me laugh whenever she says it! lol)

Nurse Rustin went over some medical history questions with me as Mom was in and out of sleep (I knew about 90% of them) -- he got to one that asked if she felt safe at home:
"Yeah, definitely. That's kind of a strange question." ~Me
"That's just in case someone's boyfriend or husband was abusive or something." ~Rustin
"My husband is a rock!" ~Mom, half-awake but saying that with some forceful attitude! :)
"Well, that's good. You got one of the good ones, huh?" ~Rustin
"He's the greatest!!"  ~Mom (then immediately fell back to sleep) =)

"Have I seen you before?" Mom, when Aaron the PA (about my age) introduced himself
"No, ma'am. I'm just taking over for Dr. Jay this morning." ~Aaron
"Well, you're a handsome little thing!" ~Mom, on pain meds, but she'd probably have said that either way lol

"Whas wrong? Whas wrong, Mamaw!? Whas wrong with Mamaw??" ~Precious Kyndal, worried about Mom and not accepting any of the answers and explanations she was given

"What's she trying to do?" ~Jaceman
"Well, she's just trying to sit down without her back hurting, but it hurts right now, and no one can fix it!" ~Me, exhausted and flustered (the first day she came home)
"Hey, I think the doctor can fix it!" ~Jace, a second or two later, proud of himself for coming up with that awesome suggestion
"Solid point, bud -- I bet you're right!!" ~Me, smiling at the hope that the doctor has fixed it!

"Chad was as pleasant as a peanut today. Headphones on. Grunting. Texting and being withdrawn. He's a keeper." ~An awesome text from JEM after they saw Chad from Bachelorette at the gym that morning!! lol

"She's obviously going for personality, and my personality is s***. If this was based solely on looks, there's a good chance I would still be here. These guys aren't on my level, bottom line. I know I'm a great catch, but the chances of her falling for me? I've got a better chance of getting struck by lightening while... shaving my face!?" ~Daniel, after being eliminated from The Bachelorette (Seriously, where do the producers find these guys!?)

"Keep the beard. Without it, you lose all your high caliber spirituality that should come with your man bun, and instead you just exude the creepiness of an aggressive priest." ~JP Sears, mocking the man-bun :)

"Say you find a new gluten-free bread. How are you supposed to enjoy this coagulation of mysterious flours that form a brick with the density of a black hole and the dryness of the desert? Answer: You're not. You're supposed to pretend to!  ...Enjoy the renewed sense of purpose that floods into your life while you sit on top of your moral high ground made out of rice flour. Understand that when no one is around, you somehow become less gluten intolerant. Based on medical evidence yet to be discovered, there's a direct correlation between how many people are around and how gluten intolerant you are!" ~JP, mocking the obnoxious gluten-free trend LOLOL (full video HERE)

(I had a few more JP quotes written out, but accidentally deleted them, and I don't wanna go back and re-watch everything to find them all again. All his "Ultra-Spiritual" videos are hilarious to me, though!)

Mmkay, Happy Thursday, gang! Have a lovely Friday and great weekend ahead!! =)
