Quinnisms

After scraping her knee pretty badly: "the purple blood is the hurtiest blood."

While insisting on carrying a fairly heavy basket of groceries at Safeway: "Wait up Mom. You know I'm not as young as I used to be."

After catching a fly in her hands at Judi's house: "I'm going to write about this in my journal tonight!"

In the car after several minutes of thoughtful silence: "You can always tell when they're going to show something old-fashioned in movies, because they play harmonica music."

While getting dressed in the morning: "You know, tights are just socks that are pants."

Watching a guy driving a motorized scooter: "Look, that scooter is motorfied."


On the topic of the potty dance:

Sitting at a stoplight observing a jogger who was running in place on the corner while he waited for the light to change: “Look Mom, that guy is doing the potty dance.”

While doing the potty dance herself: "I don't have to go potty; I'm just doing a different kind of dance."
