Watch your mouth

Dentist: "Well, I've got some bad news. You're going to need to come back to have a crown put in."
Mrs. E: "Oh no! I feel so old."
Dentist: "Old? What do you mean?"
Mrs. E: "Well, I feel like only old people have crowns."
Dentist: "I have two crowns."

Negotiations

Dialogue waiting for the plot I've yet to develop for the book and/or film I'll probably never write:

"Alright, let's make a deal."
"What?"
"If you shut up ... I'll stop screaming 'Shut up' at you. How does that sound?"

Uninspired

Dear reader(s):

Unless you want to hear me bitch about how: A.) spring cannot get here fast enough; B.) even the most Swiss-esque of us sometimes get caught up in office drama; or C.) a lack of uniterrupted sleep caused by an otherwise wonderful child has Mrs. E and I on the edge of sanity ... well, I don't have much to offer.

So I'm going to be lazy and post a few quotes I've collected that seem particularly appropriate this week:

"People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one."
- Leo J. Burke

"The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work."
- Robert Frost

"Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long."
- Leonard Bernstein
