Insights into The Daughter

So I went to The Daughter's Facebook page to see what she was up to.
They all have a page of their favorite quotes. She may have written some
of these on her own, but I know a lot of them are gleaned from different
web pages that you can link to, I'm not cool enough to really understand
the intricacies of Facebook, but these give me an insight into the dark
recesses of an Eighth-grader's mind.

I am taking a chance with my life here by even posting this, since I know
that The Daughter has read at least one of my posts...I really hope she
doesn't see this one!

General Sayings & Quotes:

Peace be with you.

  4. There's a lot of great one's in there. Because I watch a lot of TV with my 7 YO granddaughter, I really like this one:
    "Patrick! I'm claustrophobic!" "Nice Try Squidward, but there's no Santa here."

  5. I always in trouble with her, BB, but that one post of mine she read was back in February...so unless she is READING without COMMENTING I think I am safe...

    I will use this one on her too, Kristy.

    I like that line too, Pat.

  6. Having recently shut down my Facebook I decided for some things the less I know the better. That being said, while I was on Facebook I always went to my daughter's page. It was the main reason I signed up...to see her college exploits in pictures etc. Your daughter is just starting to discover who she is and I think it is neat that you now have a better insight into the things she thinks are cool. I am soon someday very soon she will be spouting some of these kinds of quotes at the dinner table...testing herself out and you!
