1. "Date nahhhhhhht!" This was bellowed enthusiastically and at a strange octave by yours truly when Nick and I were still dating. It's become a running joke, and I have yet to duplicate the same frequency of embarrassing sound.
2. My husband is the king of memorable one-liners. Some of these are appropriate between only us, some among friends, but here's one the whole family can enjoy (unlike my previous example).
Nick met my stepdad in 2011, prior to my stepfather's passing from Alzheimer's and bodily shut-down. During this visit, the first time Nick had met mom and Ray, we were sharing stories. Ray didn't say much at this point, but he still had rare moments of clarity. Mom had shared a story about Ray meeting someone--a priest--who aided in the idea of anti-bacterial hand-sanitizer. There was a slight pause afterward, and Nick chimed in:
"Oh, so he was all about purity!"
Ray smirked, and the rest of us shared a good laugh. It's a happy moment that weaves together three of the folks I hold dear, and it's one I hope to carry with me for years to come.
