Alex On Everything

On Danielle having left for her trip: Now I want to die. But just until Dani comes home. Then wake me up.

On my new job: I like it. You eat dinner there, and that means more for us!

On our aloe plant which has been alive for almost half her life: Aloe works on cuts, but it STINKS.

On Christmas: Where do all the christmas trees go after christmas? Really? Just thrown out in the street? Somebody should find a way to recycle them.

On her mothers helper job: Don't forget to call me every night. And every morning in case I die in my sleep. And in the middle of the day so I get a surprise and it makes me happy.

On my giving Danielle $100 to take with her on her trip: I'm going on a trip too. What? Why are you laughing at me? Don't I get money?

On Aunt Elaine being home alone without any of us for a few days: At first she'll be happy but then she'll finish all the food and be angry nobody's here to send to the store and clean up the kitchen.

On the idea that Jamie-Lynn Spears' pregnancy affects her ability to be an idol to people Al's age: She is? I didn't know she was supposed to be my idol. Am I supposed to have one? Then Dani and you are my idols. Wait, which one is she? Is she the Hannah Montana girl or the Zoey girl? Whatever. It's dumb to keep a baby if you're still a kid, but I don't care. Maybe they're just dumb sisters and it runs in the family.

On me going to college: When we go to college it's going to be AWESOME! We're going to get a dog, and cable with all the good channels, and food from Trader Joe's...

On being reminded that college costs money and won't be giving me money: Oh. But we can still get our dog, right?

On names for our dog we're apparently getting: Topher! Daisy! Or Luca! Ernie! What, it could be a girl's name! Pepper! Let's name it after us and call it Samalda! We might need to get more than one dog.
