Another Brilliant Idea

 

Holly Belle: Today's the day!  Are we ready?
Nathan: Ready for what?
Holly Belle: Don't you remember my brilliant idea?
Nathan: Um, you've, uh, had so many...

Holly Belle: It's the end of summer picnic that I planned.
Ann Marie: I don't know Holly Belle.  Isn't it a little late for that?

Holly Belle: Well, we couldn't have had it while it was still warm, 
because it wouldn't have been an 'end-of-summer' picnic.  
It would have just been a picnic.

John Martin: It's freezing outside!
Holly Belle: It's not that cold!  It's just bracing.  Invigorating.
We are British, you know.
John Martin: Speak for yourself.  I'm officially a soft American.
Ann Marie: Sorry, I think we'll sit this one out.

Holly Belle: Nathan!
Nathan: Good grief!  Oh, very well.  Let's have a picnic.

Later...

Nathan, teeth chattering: M-m-more lemonade?
Holly Belle: >Ugh< It is cold out here.

Holly Belle: Alright, this was a terrible idea.

Holly Belle: Go ahead, Nathan, say it!  I have terrible ideas!

Nathan: Well, that's not really true.  You just have a lot of ideas.
They can't all be winners.

Holly Belle: Why, Nathan, I think that's just about the nicest
thing you've ever said to me.

Holly Belle: What the heck's the matter with you?!?

Senior Moment

 


Edith: Baxter!
Daisy: Beg your pardon?

Edith: The dog's name!  It was Baxter!
Daisy: ???

Edith: Do you remember the other day when we were talking about
the old next-door neighbors, but we couldn't remember the name of their dog?
Well, his name was Baxter.

Daisy: Oh! So we were and so it was.  Well done!
Edith: Thanks.

Edith: This is going to be a good day.

Edith: The one nice thing about getting older 
is that it becomes a lot easier to impress yourself.

A Gregor Ga-Ga-Ga-Ghost?!?

Noah Conrad: Shoot, these plans require a left-handed light bulb wrench.
I don't have one of those.

?: Here, Noah, I think you'll find this tool will work in a pinch.

Noah: Why, yes, it will.  That's perf--
Waitaminnit...who was that??

Later...

Diego Luis: Putting together this Lego flower is giving us
good practice for the Christmas advent calendar.
Chance Victor: It's important to train before any event, ha!

Diego: ¡Ay Chihuahua!  We are almost done and there are two pieces missing!
Chance: >Sigh< Isn't that always the case?

?: Hi guys, I found these pieces on the floor.  Are they yours?
Diego: ¡Gracias!  They are part of our build here!

Chance: Hey, the flower is complete and we....hang on...
Diego: ¡Dios mío, who was that?? ¿Un fantasma?

And later still, after word has spread through the house...

Kirwan Mahoney: So, your theory is what?
Tyler: He's the ghost of a Gregor who died 
 a hundred years ago tragically --
Mikko: -- yet hilariously--
Tyler: -- after being run over by an escalator.

?: That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!!
Kirwan: I know, right?

Kirwan: Um, who was that?
Tyler: And where did he go?
Mikko: >Gulp< My head hurts.
Can we go trick-or-treating now?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
