Talking to his father about potty training his daughter: “Tell you what, she can really plop down a big one, dad. I’m sorta proud.”

“My foot’s throbbin’ like a sick turkey’s butt.”

Regarding the grandchildren going to a day care: “Well if you were concerned about that you’re five years too late. We’ve been taking them there since Ainsleigh* was two. No no no, stop arguing--stop arguing!”

911 call where a 76 year old man fell and couldn’t get up.

Talking to her cousin’s grandmother, who fled Nazi regime and went to Israel while the other side of the family went to America. Wanting to know more about the experience for a school paper: “That is stupid question, I hate to tell you but that is stupid question. What seven year old takes toothpaste? Only one bag! No no, I took my doll and my books, and I still have them both.”

“They just finished surgery, he isn’t awake yet. They thought they were going to amputate at the knee but the infection spread too high. His whole leg is gone. No, he won’t know until he wakes up.”
