Actually, only five. Mom indicated that she wasn’t going to comply with the rules of my game, so I started on an entry for her. Fortunately for her, she pulled through (and a very nice job she did, I think).

But I didn’t want all my hard work to go to waste, so you get what I’d collected so far:

1. “What was someone saying about chocolate chip Oreos?”

2. “Wait! Wait! Make sure you bring us the WORLD FAMOUS fajitas!”

3. “No, this isn’t Winn Dixie. You have the wrong number. But wait! You might be someone I want to talk to!”

4. “Oh, good, Berck is back. I’m going to go out and bother him.”

    You didn’t read my replies…. I never said I wasn’t going to play
    the game.

    Perfect. The nuances of voice are perfect. I love it.

    Joanna, I am NOT your mother and I wish you would stop saying I was! :)
    Tell your mom I said hello and I truly enjoyed harassing you (Jonah) while you were in Athens. SOMEone had to remind you what extroverts were like (giggle). Miss you!

    I don’t remember saying anything about chocolate chip Oreos. Are you sure it wasn’t Susan?

    I was in a room talking with several other people, and you walked in and said that. You probably don’t remember it because it was so random.

    “random” (eye roll, please). I should have put that in my
    “weird” post. Being “random,” I mean. Now, my words are not random
    to ME…. I have this thought process all linear and all. It’s just
    that often no one else is privy to my thoughts.
