Kiss your sister!!!!!!!!!
One of my most potent (if not fondest) "family togetherness" memories is of a time about 10 years ago when my husband's family had gathered at my mother-in-law's house. My approximately 5-year-old nephew had done something to my approximately 3-year-old niece, which prompted my sister-in-law to start screaming, in a manner reminiscent of the Wicked Witch of the West, "Kiss your sister!!! Kiss your sister!!! KISS YOUR SISTER!!!"
Anybody else have lines that will live in infamy? Maybe it was a family member saying something funny or ridiculous, maybe it was an obscure line from a tv show or movie, but it stuck with you. One of my favorite lines is from Star Trek: The Next Generation--"Quick, Nelix, get the cheese to Sick Bay!"
Let's hear those great one-liners!
And they keep coming to me. Ive always hated the springer show but not my ex who to my frustration would watch even when my very young daughter was with him. One day in our car, she was singing a kids song that included "... boys are rotten made of cotten, girls are sexy made of pepsi..."
It was funny to hear her, so young, use the word 'sexy'. I asked if she knew what she had said. She said yes. I asked if she knew what sex was. She answered, "That's when someones sleeping with your man." Yeah - sex education via Jerry Springer.

I have two that are kick'n around in my head right now;
"YOU ATE A BABY" and "WHAT'S THAT DOG SAY'N"
When my mom was pregnant with her youngest, she also had a 2 1/2 year old. One day they had a conversation (I was there to witness) that went something like this;
2 1/2 year old: Mamma, why is your belly so fat?
Mom: My belly is not fat sweety, there's a baby in it.
2 1/2 year old, with a look of complete horror on his face: "YOU ATE A BABY?!"
My mom actually had this story published in Reader's Digest and was sent a check for $500.
And another one; Me, my dad, and 3 year old brother were watching Mary Poppins. In one scene, Mary Poppins iS listening to a barking dog...as if her and the dog are in conversation. My 3 year old brother, with frustration on his face glances at my dad and asks, "what's that dog saying dad?". My dad and I were in stitches. My dad couldn't disappoint him by telling him he didn't speak dog...or rather, he was laughing too hard to break it to him.
looool i have one simlilar to that.
My mother and my little sister While looking at old photo's:
*points at a picture while my mom was pregnant*
"why is your tummy so BIG?"
"I was pregnant with you. You were in there"
*little sister begins to cry*
"WHY'D YOU EAT ME?! YOU DON'T LOVE ME??"
While getting my ears cleaned at the doctor's office, he showed me what had come out. I looked into the bowl and screamed in horrer "MY BRAAIN IS FALLING OUT!!!"
We were in Baltimore. I forgot this fact and while I was leaning over the rail and looking into the water I said, "there are effing jelly fish in lake ontario?!"
Yup. It was a blonde moment that I have yet to live down.
On the go andin the know.
