Some good ones from the past month

So Chris has now moved to my city! So the zingers are more regular, which I am stoked about. Here are some good ones that I managed to write down a few weeks ago:

(Over dinner, where he is sitting on the inside of a booth, so I offer to go get him seconds)
Chris: Yes, because apparently I'm a hungry hungry hippo. I sit in a corner and open my mouth and food rolls in.

(And just randomly over that same meal)
Chris: Remember fat people nursery rhymes? "Fatty fatty 2-by-4, can't get through the kitchen door"?
Mom: I never said that.
Chris: I didn't say you said it to the small child who later had severe emotional trauma.

So this one takes some lead up. We went skiing to Mt. Baldy, which has to be the poorest excuse for a ski resort I have ever heard of. On the lift to the one passable trail, I mentioned how at the top of the lifts at Snow Summit there is a cabin with food and alcohol for sale. The following zingers ensued.

Chris: Yes, I could go for a shot. I'd take a shot every time I came up the lift. I'd drink until this run was good. ... (to the run) Drink you pretty.

And a great email thread with the entire familia:

So with all of the issues going on in the Mediterranean, perhaps Malta may not be the best decision. What would you think of going back to Bonaire?

I am always up for Bonaire. Do we have to make these decisions now for August/September?

Yeah, I'm up for some Bonaire as well.

I thought we'd wait a bit, but should start discussion. No need to cancel Malta yet, but if we **do** have to make another decision, we should be able to move quickly on our second option.

Why don't we all just man up and do a liveaboard in australia?
