Day 4: favorite quote and why
I love quotes and sayings.
I say "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit." fairly regularly. I don't know where that came from but I heard it once and started saying to the boys.
When we are going places, before we get out the car, I will remind the boys to "be on our BEST behavior." And if someone starts misbehaving I can ask "is this your BEST behavior?" and usually the acting up subsides (not always but I am always wiling to leave somewhere and they know it).
I love the quote by Gordon B. Hinckley about true love. "True love is not so much a matter about romance as it is a matter of anxious concern for the well being of one's companion." I love that one because I think it is so true.
And there are tons of great quotes from TV shows and movies. Ron Swanson is a favorite around here. Also, Blue's Clues and Backyardigans and Imagination Movers have some pretty great quotes; "and the feeling is...happy!" "Please and Thank you are the se-cret to the Nile." and "pick it up pick it up now! clean my room. Pick it up!" (Some of those are sung fairly often here).
