Come to think of it, our quotation habits are pretty broad too; we come out with all kinds of film quotes.<br /><br />Mom - After I took a second look at the picture of Miss Pole in this post, I realized just how good the pine-branch imitations were!<br /><br />I Just Know Everything - Yes, that sounds familiar!

I'd love to be sitting around listening to you guys talk like this.

I had to laugh when I found out what they were up to.<br /> <br />Ron Scheer, I couldn't help chuckling at your literary quote. I think we can all relate to that one. <br /><br />Another of our favorite movie quotes around here is from the 1951 version of Charles Dickens' <br />"A Christmas Carol" starring Alistair Sim. It comes in handy when everything seems to be going haywire -- "I must stand on my head!"Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847974343100499783.post-22048523765885727202011-01-27T21:37:07.338-05:002011-01-27T21:37:07.338-05:00"Ah, lunch!"
I LOVE that line.
And I a..."Ah, lunch!"<br />I LOVE that line. <br /><br />And I agree, Martin Chuzzlewit's very underrated, but one of our family's favourites, too. :) We quote a lot of costume dramas at our house...everything from Sherlock Holmes and Pride & Prejudice to Lord of the Rings and Westerns. :D I'll even occasionally do it while at the grocery store, lol.Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693636355638596302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847974343100499783.post-66513437923765730362011-01-27T18:56:36.758-05:002011-01-27T18:56:36.758-05:00Enjoyed this, thanks.
