little tobin: he was totally lincoln!
daughter: yeah he’s such a great actor.
little tobin: NO, i mean he WAS lincoln.
daughter: uh oh, you do realize he is an actor, right?
little tobin: oh shut up.
daughter: well i loved james spader the most in it.
little tobin: yeah, only because he was on your bedroom walls when you were 13!
daughter: soooooo!
(4 thumbs up for lincoln – mine for james spader – long live pretty in pink!)
daughter: hey where’s the mail?
little tobin: on the counter, it’s all for you.

little tobin: that is not for me…
daughter: oh yes it is… they say it’s a GREAT senior alternative…
little tobin: alternate this sister.

daughter: let’s get some exercising in this morning before all the eating begins…
(on the couch watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade)

(jumps up and does her best full-force kick)
daughter: what the hell was that?
little tobin: my kick! get up – KICK IT!
(both kicking, legs getting at the most 6 inches off the ground)
little tobin: oooooOUCH… I think i pulled an ass muscle.
daughter: this is pathetic…
little tobin: i’m out of breath.
Happy thanksgiving everyone!
(running down the stairs heading out the door)
little tobin: well now look at US! we are twins!
daughter: (stopping in my tracks) yup this is how it’s going to be now – me, matching my mother…

daughter: come on, stop!
officer: ladies you can proceed.
daughter: thank you officer.
little tobin: oh puhleaseeee, there it is again!
daughter: that running was fantastic! i need to run like that…
little tobin: that will never happen in your lifetime…
daughter: yeah i can’t make it once around that track – another dream squashed.
(we 80% liked it, 100% loved javier bardem but will have nightmares about his blonde hair)
daughter: this sign has ruined apples & cider for me forever…
little tobin: yeah do they mean eat apples & cider then you end up dead!
daughter: or are they apple & cider scented cemetery boxes? HAHA
little tobin: nooo?! but maybeeeee.
daughter: makes it sound more festive that way! let’s believe that option.
little tobin: deal!
(little tobin & i have decided to bring back the favorite phrases from grandma dot)
1. go piss up a rope!
(meaning: go eff yourself – this one baffled me when i was little & made me laugh uncontrollably
– actually i’m still laughing and trying to figure out how the heck that is possible)
2. isn’t he just precious…
(meaning: isn’t he the biggest ass you have ever met…)
3. that poor bastard
(meaning: turn over all your pocket money, this one is worse off then us…)
(little tobin is gone for the weekend! i have the house to myself… i feel 15 again!)
little tobin: i’m off, don’t do anything i wouldn’t do!
daughter: hummm… nope, no plans to watch a 3 hour marathon of law & order – we are good to go!
little tobin: are you wearing that?
daughter: (dressed in what i thought was appropriate attire to sit in WAITING ROOMS!)
yeah, what the heck is wrong with this outfit?
little tobin: well I know you can look better. and we will be around doctors… just sayin’
daughter: oh my god, are you trying to pimp me out to your doctor!?
little tobin: i did not say that! – but you know, a little lipstick never hurts…
little tobin: hey turn on the election results!
daughter: yeah i did, it’s on. (tv currently on PBS)
little tobin: oh no, who the hell are these people? i don’t know them – damn they are boring…
daughter: huh, we don’t know any of them on any channel, but they seem the least showy.
little tobin: ok i do not like this, where are the people i know? (switching to NBC)
little tobin: well helloooooo brian williams.. ahhhhhh
