“Like a badly mislabeled lift, this is wrong on so many levels.”

Five Eaglet quotes from the last x months:

Me: “So which came first, the chicken or the egg?”
Eaglet: “The egg.” (a pause) “No, the chicken.” (another pause) (outraged) “What the HECK?!”

Janni: “This sentence is a lie.”
Eaglet: (two second pause) “What the HECK?!”

“I don’t care, I don’t care, I just ripped my underwear.”

“How come I don’t have as many questions for you in the day than at night?”

(after easily doing something that was too hard six months before)
“It’s like when you’re five, you’re in a cocoon, and then you’re a butterfly.”

Subject quote from Gerard Cheshire, Vulgar Latin, and the Siren Call of the Polyglot, Nick Pelling, appropriate to the first two only.
