Washington Excerpts Day Four

Preface: Yep. That's all she wrote.

Dude, I actually saw a snow plow last night!

Maybe it was a UFO.

Those trucks are probably jealous we can go 40 miles per hour. That's ok, we're from Utah.

Snowy shoe purse!

KDDC broke down in Pendleton forever ago.

Do you have your spite pen? Why yes, yes I do.

Hey, we've been there before!

We dance like white girls, mom.

We can't see any roadkill in the snow.

Deborah just whistled at us.

Dog road kill! It isn't funny anymore.

She boob-called you.

Cows

I wrote that down

British Columbia! That's actually kind of cool now that we're not in Washington anymore.

**As a final note, we found license plates from 33 states as long as three bonus ones: US Gov't, Alberta, and (in case you haven't already guessed) British Columbia.

Washington Excerpts Day Three

I typed this all up on Sunday night and lost it right after I finished. Sigh. Sorry for the delay, here we go!

Well, you're gonna hit a pole now, so keep going.

You can't walk on the freeway here.

Why would you hitch hike to Canada from Utah?

So long as you're not breaking my car, at least to your knowledge.

I wonder if that rock is still there.

Look, the rock is still there!

It's ok, we're from Utah. No its not, we should know how to park in the snow.

We don't recognize any of the little kids. Even a little bit.

She put wama instead of wanna.

This way I can just turn this way.

Wow, I did not go the right way. By the way.

Hey its your turn. Hey its your turn. Hey, I'm turning.

The other state that we're not in.

Hey it looks the same. Weird.

Oh look. British Columbia.

I dried it for you.

This skirt doesn't fit as well after I eat.

Is he the one that taught us how to pop people's eyes out?

Its not your hair growing, its your skin shrinking.

You ready? I reckon'

The road is wet therefor my window is gross.

Tell Deborah that

If you want something clean try clorox toilet water.

While Sarah was sleeping.

If you weren't so short, I wouldn't step on it.

Am I going to hit anything? Your face. Oh, you were right.

We had church.

This is a big chocolate shake that gives your cheeks exercise.

Speech access

Hey we drove there

You just don't see a lot of dead shipyards in Utah

Entering Everett

Will you guys stop talking so I can eat?

It is what it is.

My kids are totally going to have full body snow suits

I was thinking one of them would be a garbage bag yet.

Mom's bobbing her head

I like pizza

Is 'some stuff' a group?

You just cut off that truck, mom. No I didn't, he was behind me.

Did you say beating your children again?

If your hair isn't becoming, you should be coming to us.

I thought you were gonna hit that guy, mom. I thought I was too.

Look, Vern Fonk!

Drive around three times, stop, and you're there.

Very worse case is it'll take us right where we want to go.

Oh man, we're gonna die!

The only uphell road in Everett.

I'm just afraid I'm gonna use up all my happy. That's ok, happy multiplies.

Ok you start it. Giggle! Hurry, giggle!

It's ok, we're from Utah.

What are the side effects of a burp, by the way?

I do not throw up government vehicles. That would hurt.

Ferns! Snow covered ferns!

I kind of want to write that, but I kind of don't.

I don't know if I don't know where I'm going.

It was a pink sparkly one.

Amy throw that away before I try to eat it and choke on it.

Hey look, an island!

Mom, I'm gonna cut her hair off. Why? Because it won't actually hurt her, but it'll make me feel better.

Can I just say Bertha? Can't you just call me Nubbins?

Its ok, we're from Utah

Give me a key. I mean my wallet.

Oh my gosh, it's a honey bucket!!

You little ninny? Mom just called you a ninny!

We're not all binding. We're bonding.

Go to the side of him, mom. Don't go through him.

2 Mustang Suit

I'm so glad we came to the water.

Pirates!!!

That looks like a fake seagull.

Clear the decks! There's a storm coming!

She's late to everything!

There's the other purposeful walking guy. He's still purposefully walking.

Cover your mouth when you talk.

That's dumb. It's well ventilated.

I'm primed.

No skating!

Are we slower traffic? 'Cause we're keeping right.

Whoa, it's snowing.

Wait, they have speed limits that high??

This is Whidbey Island as we've never seen it before. White.

We must be from Utah. Why? 'Cause we rolled down the window and its snowing?

That's right, the pillow.

Deborah, I'm sorry I called you a foghorn. That's ok, I still love you.

I forget how to make it so they can't.

There's a fork over there.

They still have Christmas decorations. I like this store!

I'm glad I got this cart to carry my purse.

We can't tell her to write stuff down and then get mad when she's not paying attention while she's writing stuff down.

Attach this to the moose.

I have no idea where I'm going.

Weeeeeee!

Dimsum!

I'm not writing that down.

They clean gutters.

We're playing corners and I forgot and she hit my shoulder.

Shush! I'm writing that down.

Send, text, send! I have one bar! Fly like the wind, bar!

I just got stuck on your coat.

We just got banished from each other!

That's we were both like wooooo!

I swear every time I start laughing I start crying.

Elbow to face contact!

Help! I can't get up!

I don't want to play corners anymore.

Actually, I think I faced your elbow.

That's what she said

That was, like, rag-doll style.

I won't say that because I'm worried that it might upset you.

Deborah, I love you.

Mom needs her steps.

Will you file that please?

I will in a minute, I haven't found my hat yet.

There you go, used candles.

No wonder I'm naked! (Thank you, clothing store sign ;) )

According to facebook, we were only lost for 5 minutes.

I'm not sure about the middle e.

Thanks for sharing that with me, Deborah. It enhanced my experience here on Whidbey Island.

We'll go on the ferry 'cause its more funner.

Stop laughing, 'cause I'll start crying and it will freeze to my face

Dad taught me that.

Maybe I'll wear that shirt on Tuesday.

I only buy silver rings 'cause that way when I take it off it actually comes off instead of staying there.

I pushed on your wipers trying to do cruise control.

You just scared the crap out of me. I didn't know you had that much crap in you to begin with. (this after the bananas had been scared out of her earlier in the day)

Are we gonna hit rush hour again?

I love how we're, like, quoting ourselves.

'Cause even if you turn it off, it flashes.

I would have been afraid to turn around and look.

I just poked myself in the eyeball.

That elephant just kills me.

Recreation next left. I don't blame them.

Does Double Bluff mean they bluffed twice, or that they're bluffing at the same time? Maybe they bluffed twice in the same sentence.

Are we there yet? Yes, get out.

Use-Less Bay

That down.

We've been in that goose. Awkward. Really awkward.

Now when we get back we can just tell everybody MOOSE! (I don't know if anyone remembers what mom was going to say there, so MOOSE!)

What if ferries don't have human-sized bathrooms?

I think we're just closer to it.

The lady from Canada said kilometers.

Done ran out of room.

Deborah Deborah Deborah! I really need you to stop making me laugh!

Yeah, and they're sparkly butt.

Good thing I wrote it down.

Run like the wind, Bullseye!

Sarah, did you find us? No, where did you go?

Mom, did you find us? Hey, I just said that!

Which purple shirt yesterday?

And that's why I wasn't gonna say yes.

Hey, my mom says I'm special.

Do we need to read the list?

I'm talking about the hotel key. But yeah, I do that too.

Thanks for talking me into coming (see Day Two)

I'm practicing locking my door.

It's ok 'cause I'm cute.

A conversation implies two parties. She was listening! You were monologuing.

That's ok. It's one of those "Utah" jokes.

We're the only funny ones.

Ow! Mom hit you.

An albino chocolate lab? That is awesome! I want one of those.

It's really bad when you're the one the band makes fun of.

Washington Excerpts Day Two

Preface: Today was definitely more eventful than yesterday. Brace yourself.

Did you break in? Yes, I needed water. At least she's not going to the bathroom.

Did you just smack mom in the boob?

Slam your door hard!

We already got British Columbia.

Oh, it's British Columbia too. Lame.

Now I know what it feels like to be you. (I was driving, so Sarah was scribing)

I can't wear sparkly butt at work.

I was just taking care of Amy's sound effects.

That down.

This isn't waterproof.

That's ok we don't live here, we don't have to come back.

My shirt got wetter in here than it did outside!

I haven't done that since Junior High

At least it didn't come up my nose.

Don't write that down.

She can walk back, can't she?

We are not boring, but I still have a tickle in my throat.

What did you want me to do, catch it?

Maybe we should write that down.

I'm not gonna write that down.

I feel really close to my steering wheel right now.

I can't wear that skirt with hairy legs.

I don't know any skirts with hairy legs.

It's raining, there shouldn't be any helicopters.

My eyes are all swollen now and red.

Guys, Guys! We're not that funny!

I think I've used up all my happy for the day.

Man.

I didn't know that lunch could be an aerobic exercise.

I almost pulled a mom.

I don't have a sneaky pocket. Oh shoot, I do!

That's probably why it was on sale.

I forgot my clothes.

So go right, not wrong.

That house is on fire. It had smoke coming out the chimney.

It's ok, we're from Utah.

Mom: You looking at license plates still? Sarah: Idaho!

Come on, stupid! (in reference to a car on the freeway on our way to the wedding)

Every time your hand comes out of your hair, I flinch.

Whisper sweet nothings in my ear.

She has a new quest in life.

The daily journal for the on the go working woman. Why is that funny? It just is.

She was thinking she wanted to engage you in conversation.

We are really good at this game. What game? Exactly.

Don't crash.

I keep thinking I recognize people but I don't because I recognize them from home.

It's like we got here, so they could start.

Maybe the shock of seeing me will induce labor.

Now I'm going to have to spend more coins to get on top again.

I'm gonna shoot for six, but I'm with her.

That down.

It's been a bad bad day. Write that down.

All you needed was a flash mob and you would have had something.

You didn't wave. You didn't either.

We're driving, mom. It's inconvenient and awkward.

Oh, it's just British Columbia.

I don't like you people anymore. It's ok, we never really liked you.

Amy told me I didn't have to.

Mom: He needs work or a helping hand. Here, cut off your hand. Amy: That wouldn't be very helpful.

We had to come to Seattle for it to snow. (Coincidentally, we actually didn't even make it to Seattle because of the snow)

Hey, we drove right there.

They're not from here either. Turn off your lights.

Are you talking about me?

We're over five pages? Write that down.

It's Seattle, everything works when its wet. Even roof fixers.

Sorry it took so long, I had to wait for them to cook the cookies.

Clean up, clean up everybody everywhere, clean up clean up everybody do your share. Write that down.

It's ok, we're from Utah.

I'm your elder, respect me! Ow, boob punch!

Too bad, so sad!

These pants make me feel skinny.

But hey. The worse that could happen is we'll die.

Off I-5 or I-405, take the Alderwood Mall exit.

What's that one? British Columbia. No, it really is.

Sarah's touching me!

I can't believe you guys talked me into this.

They're a lot nicer here than they are in Utah

It is kind of salty. There is an ocean after all.

There is no gas.

Send it to my phone, ok? Oh, you took it on my phone.

Hey, they have the shingles vaccine here.

Put that down. We are dang good.

Chiropractic dentistry. That's weird.

Excuse me. I burped. You can write that down.

Mom's phone is making blinky things.

I have a new purse, so it doesn't really matter.

That's the beauty of the list. They don't know.

That down.

I wrote that down.

Mom, you're not old enough.

No. (Sarah follows with a dirty look)

Diet and a Doctor.

I feel like I have eight different things going through my head right now. And one going down your shirt.

That's because I was burping and I didn't want to.

He can't help it, he was born that way. (speaking of a latino Where's Waldo baby's big ears)(...I don't think he had much control over the outfit, either)

Someone spiked your mashed potatoes.

No. Well... ? No.

I though all my happy was used up today.

I'm ok being a snot.

I'm ok being shot?

That's a hard core stream.

Jacob is so more better than Edward.

She stole her keys out of my purse.

Yes, we sell muscle.

Geez, that scared me to death. I almost died there.

I said us. I never said us involved you.

Stickers have a tendency to do that sometimes.

There's three British Columbia's in a row.

Ok starting right now, whoever talks looses. (This lasted from the time the elevator doors closed until they opened again one floor later)

It's McGee!

Alberta! Don't we already have Alberta? Yeah, but at least it's not British Columbia.

It's ok, we're from Utah.

You don't talk, but you talk with your mouth closed.

I'm just glad I didn't shave my knees!

She's throwing blood at you.

It's Moist!

Boobie Squish

Cows Walking in a Line

Shetland Pony

At 11:06 we crossed to Oregon from Idaho. Deborah, write that down.

It was 7:25 when we crossed to Idaho.

We left at 5:30 and then mom ran a red light.

I should have flashed the truck driver. (Thanks for that, mom)

And it is 3:14 (2:14 Washington time)

Are we over the bridge yet? My feet are tired.

What ring do you want to get a finger for?

That Down

Amy and Sarah saw the pink on the mountains.

Oh wow, a car on fire.

Look there's Seattle! Oooohh...

There are three sets of zero, then one zero, then 119

Whoa Whoa Whoa!

When you said kinky, I didn't expect it to be followed by neck.
