Quotable Family

I still haven’t kicked the habit of writing context-free notes that float around for months, years even. Sometimes I do remember what they’re about, though. Recently I found one that said “Flaming purple star witch or purple louseweed,” and I remember why I wrote that down. My husband doesn’t quite share my love of wildflowers, and he couldn’t remember (or deliberately chose to forget) the name of purple loosestrife. He joked that it must be called “flaming purple star witch” or “purple louseweed.” Those are pretty good names actually, and I nominate him for the position of “Super Wizard Flower Namer.”
Livia, after being told to eat her chickpeas and stop complaining about it, said, “I’m going to complain until the day I die. My last words will be ‘I hate chickpeas!'”
Marshall, disgusted with his mom for watching so many Hallmark movies, complained that they’re all named the same: “Christmas Love,” “Love at Christmas,” etc. He’s not entirely wrong. What he doesn’t yet realize is that the movies themselves are all pretty much the same, so it makes sense that they all have the same name!
