Referring to her dad's crooked teeth: "You know how my dad's teeth are all piled up?"
Talking about her dog: "She had the fleas."
Flexing her biceps: "I like exercising because it makes me tough!"
"There's something fishy around here."
On the walk home from school, pulling up her shirt to show me what resembles a magenta child-sized sports bra: "I'm wearin' my joggin' clothes because it makes me really fast! Because it makes it so I can't sweat so I'm fast."
We had been having a verbal tug-of-war about something or other, and she decided the best way to win the argument would be: "Yeah, well, my dad is famous." (He's not.) I replied, "That's what Draco Malfoy says." She looked at me in genuine horror and backpedaled: "Actually, my dad's not famous."
High fives,

Best. Comeback. Ever.
