melanie-isms II


Note passed in church:
Mel - I'm bored and Roxanne ditched me, so who am I supposed to pass notes to?
Mom - Sister Majors right there in front of you, of course.
Mel - I don't think she wants to pass notes.
Mom - How can you tell? Try it.
Mel - What do I say? But I'm sure she wants to pay attention to the talks, not pass notes back and forth with a 13 year old.
Mom - ok, . . . I guess you'll just have to be bored. Oh, I know! Why don't you pay attention to the talks???!!
Mel - No way hozay!

Melanie: (said to a boy who sits next to her at school) "You smell like Disneyland!"
Boy: Is that a bad thing?
Melanie: No, it's perfect!
Rachel: I'm going to see the play 'Hello, Dolly'.
Melanie: Wasn't that the sheep that was cloned?
Mom: Yes, Melanie. There was a sheep named Dolly that was cloned, but no, they didn't make a stage musical out of it. (Yes, she sewed her hair in the sewing maching. No, I don't know why.)
"Look what Lexi did! She chewed up my shoe in the night! Get out of here Lexi, I'm mad at you. No! Get away - I'm giving you the silent treatment!! Don't you cuddle up to me, Lexi! I mean it!! . . . . . . . oh, you are so cute. . . ok, I forgive you!!" "Good Night, my fellow family members!"

Where does she come up with these things? I couldn't be that creative even if I took a class and studied creative comedy.

This kid cracks me up. I dont see her that offten but when I do I have MANY stories to take home to my mom, I wish I could just take Mel home with me. No one tells stories like she can. You should write a book about her called Melanie-isms!!!! It would sell like crazy!
