Oh the Pubescence!!!

Scott:  Oh I love this album!  It reminds me of my childhood, and my post-pubescent life!

Ammon: .....

....

Ammon: Scott, only weirdos say pubescent.

Scott: Post-pubescent, thank you very much.

Pop-up Book

Amanda: "Nobody's listening to my story..."
Martina: "I'm listening. I'm just interjecting every once in a while."
Scott: "We're like a pop-up book, you tell the story and we pop up every once in a while."

Mom's havin' another!

A recent phone conversation:

Mom: Hey Ammon!
Ammon: Hey, Mom!  I just had a question...
Baby: WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
Mom:  Oh, hold on, I'm having a crying baby...
Ammon:  What?!  Mom, that's not just a comment you throw around.  A little warning would have been nice!  I'm you're oldest son!  How do you think that makes me feel?!  I had no idea this was happening!

Mom, in case you're wondering, this happened while you were trying to console the baby.  Congrats, by the way!

Textationships

Scott: I hate textationships.
Ammon: What on earth is a text-lationship??
Scott: It's a relationship you have over texting.
Ammon: That's not a real word.
Scott: Yeah it is!
Ammon: Heck no it's not.
Scott: Are you kidding me?!  You can Merriam-Webster that shiz!

Native American Values

Scott drapes a sweater around his neck and poses for us, thus meriting this slew of comments:

Scott: Guys, if this was a fur coat, I could totally pull this off.
Martina: I think Averi has fur coat.  You should try it out!
Ammon: But wait, isn't Averi vegan??  Isn't that against some sort of Vegan code?
Scott: Apparently you can wear animals, but you can't eat them.
Ammon: She doesn't have eat it,  but you can still kill it!
Scott:  That's totally against Native American values...
..........
Ammon: You mean the super pale fire-ball red-head in our ward right?  WHAT DOES SHE HAVE TO DO WITH NATIVE AMERICANS?!?!

Blowing Bubbles

While Martina Severn is blowing bubbles in our apartment:

Ammon:  Ooooh, I like it when she puckers!

Companionship love

This is a conversation I had with one of my missionaries during a Spanish practice of using "would", Elder Russell:

Elder Russell: What would you sacrifice, Hermano Hallsted, to have the girl of your dreams?

(This is when I know they're getting to good at Spanish.)

Ammon: I'm not going to dignify that with a response.  Now I have a question for YOU.  What would you sacrifice to have the ability to convert hundreds of people?

Elder Russell: What would I sacrifice?  Hm...  I'd sacrifice my companion.
