"I can't eat this hospital food. The hamburger patty is too hard to chew and I'm afraid I won't be able to get it down without choking on it."
"That's because I just saw some guy down the hall pulling the heel off his shoe and putting it on a hamburger bun."
"Why do you take a nap on the couch an hour or two before going to bed at night?"
"It's a part of my 'Pre-Sleep' ritual."
"That breakfast burrito went through me like a breakfast torpedo."
"I think the kids are plotting to kill me. Every time I step into the living room and see that creepy, gigantic Valentine's bear on the couch, I think it's a stranger in the house and my heart stops."
"You carry enough cheese sticks in your purse to open your own dairy farm."
"I just ate two turkey burgers and now I have the entire bird stuck in my teeth. I don't think the floss I need has been invented yet that can pull this bird out of my food trap."
"My muse is in overdrive and I'm on fire."
"Quick---somebody hand me a fire extinguisher!"
"What is it with boys? Hover boards, an office chair and sparklers equal a scary night on our street. God help us all."
"A balanced diet is a cupcake in each hand."
"Sorry I didn't respond to your text. My mind wandered off and I forgot."
"Wandered off? I think it left for good."
"I ate too much piccadilly tonight. I'm crop dusting beans and rice everywhere I walk. "
"What's the matter with you? Every man has lighter fluid in his garage."
"What are you, a dinosaur? Coals and lighter fluid went out after the 60's. Everyone uses propane grills now. "
"Of course I won't tell anyone what happened. I understand the girl code of silence."
"Since when do girls know how to keep silent?"
Well, there you go, folks! Another crazy month at the Doyle abode. And yes, this girl can't keep silent. Why do you think I'm a writer??

Funny way to start my day! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGlad I could bring you a smile today!
DeleteEvery house is crazy, but you always tell the story better than I could!!! Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHa-Ha thanks, Carol! My family provides plenty of blog fodder.
DeleteVery funny and the best way to start a Friday!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteGreat way to start my day -- on the road again! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks and safe travels!
DeleteI completely agree with the balanced diet comment, but I have to admit that I cannot stop laughing at the "breakfast torpedo".
ReplyDeleteThat's my husband for ya!
DeleteHilarious! I especially love the balanced diet, but for me it is a donut in each hand. Chocolate. Glazed. I can relate to he issue with the burrito, and I'm not sure I could survive the life size Valentine's bear without a change of underwear. I was going to comment on more of the fly on the wall observations, but my mind just wandered off.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA!!! Your comments always crack me up, Molly. Thanks!!
DeletePriceless! I just love being a fly on Fridays.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing you here--thank you!
DeleteOh I feel exhausted reading your post! LOL:) Thank you for a fun look at the past month in your life - I'm off for a nana nap!
ReplyDeleteI want a nana nap!!!
DeleteLove that crop dusting reference. Thanks for the laughs.
ReplyDeleteFunny----I haven't heard that term in YEARS and my daughter is the one who said it. The whole time I was wondering where she got the expression from. Had to be from my midwest husband!
DeleteIt sure is fun to be in your house. :D
ReplyDeleteNEVER a dull moment here!
DeleteI love your family's one liners - and that hoverboard contraption looks amazing! I assume nobody died in the adventure :)
ReplyDeleteThankfully, no. My youngest son is always getting into weird stuff like this---he is the reason I have a LOT of gray hairs!
DeleteThanks for the giggles, no better way to start the day. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it!
DeleteYour stories never fail to make me laugh. I never know how to stay silent either. That's why I hate when my sisters tell me secrets, the urge to tell everyone is just too overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteRight? You get it, too!
DeleteI saw a stuffed animal like your Valentine bear the other day and almost peed my pants - thinking of you!!
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious! They are SCARY BIG.
DeleteHilarious as always Marcia, I love that one about the breakfast burrito becoming a torpedo .. lol ... oh and the huge stuffed bear would scare me too xox
ReplyDeleteMy husband mentioned the breakfast burrito comment.....
DeleteYour house is always a barrel of laughs. It reminds me of my growing up with 4 brothers.
ReplyDeleteI cannot IMAGINE living wth FOUR brothers! Oh, the stories you must have....
DeleteOmg yessss, someone else eats Piccadilly, or knows what it is! Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteIt's yummy!
DeleteLove the pre-sleep ritual and the balanced diet!
ReplyDeleteThere is also the colorful diet, do you know about it? The more colors, the healthier?
(A bowl of M&Ms, hahaha!)
That's exactly what I would eat on that diet!
Deletebwahahaha, breakfast torpedo!!!! I think that bear would freak me out too!
ReplyDeleteIt always freaks me out!!!
DeleteToo funny. I love the balanced meal.
ReplyDeleteCupcakes for everyone!
DeleteI always love Fly Friday at your house. Y'all are too funny!
ReplyDeleteWe're all a little bit crazy here.....
