Ava is one of the most remarkable, unique people I know. I greatly enjoy spending time around her, and always appreciate her different perspective, spunky personality, and wit.
Once, Sophie wanted Ava to perform something, but Ava was offended by something she said and responded, “You
disrespect me, you don’t get the voice! You don’t get the faces! You don’t get
the hair!”
“This is the SADDEST DAY OF MY LIFE. Let’s go.”
“Guys,
we have to laugh at all of Sophie’s jokes in the car so that she’ll have good
self-esteem on the plane!”
“My favorite youth group memory is Dad taking me to Hardees every week and
buying me ice cream and memorizing Bible verses with me because I was SO SALTY
that I couldn’t go to youth group. So
salty. And I’d come home and be like, they’re
right downstairs in my living room, but I can’t be with them!”
“For
my real favorite youth group memory… This is kind of embarrassing, but she’s
gone, so it doesn’t matter! It was when [Name] fell asleep in small group. It
was her turn to pray, and we were all waiting. We thought she was just
thinking. And finally we were like, ‘uhhh… she fell asleep!’”
“That’s
the worst! When you think you remember something but it’s really just a dream
or a story you heard!”
After losing an argument: “When
you know they’re right, so you just have to mock them!”
“When
word gets around that you’re funny, it’s a lot of pressure.”
“Ughhhhh…
Do you ever just sing a line of a song so much that you’re even annoying
yourself?”
“I’m
so tired of using slang all the time. It even annoys me! I have got to stop…
But I still say ‘savagery’ and ‘lit’ all the time, even though it annoys me so
much!”
“Trials
and tribulations! TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS!”
Eating
out of a party-size Doritos bag: “Now, if you’re judging me, then that is a
sin, and that is your problem, and you had better deal with it.”
About
sarcastic compliments: “Oh, I give them all the time! Like, ‘wow, Sophie, you
look soooo beautiful today!’ Just kidding. You do look beautiful, because
you’re related to me. Hahahaha.”
“We
would have hand sanitizer races. We’d squirt it on our fingers and race to see
who could get it to drip down the fastest. And because I was little and dumb, I
didn’t know that you had to squirt out a lot out make it go faster, and Sophie
would always win.”
When I asked where their parents were: “How
am I supposed to know? I guess they were just really bad at parenting!” (Since I don't want her to get in trouble, I'll note that she said she was joking.)
About Sophie going to college: “I
won’t have a life anymore, because she won’t be around to take me places!”
“That's what I say to get out of awkward conversations. ‘Sorry, gotta go,
my cat is on fire.’”
“Speaking
of ‘Mrs. Stoddard will be mad if you break things…’”
Playing
Scattergories: “Well, I wrote one down
for everything…”
Personality
traits: “Saucy… Thinking about myself!”
Beverages: “I’m
underage, so hi-c.”
“Guess
what I did today! Missed my first class of the whole school year. Starting off
great.”
“If
you say it’s from the 80s, we just have to believe you!”
About the family dog: “He’s getting sentimental in his old age. Like, he’ll come into my room and get
on my couch! What is this?”
“When
I’m home alone, he’s my only hope!”
After
Mr. O’Dell said that whoever knocked something down in a game would be the
loser: “It’ll probably be me, because everything in my life is collapsing right
now.”
“Sophie
said that she saw a girl walking so fast that one of her hoop earrings fell out
in traffic.”
“I just wanna see one fair pic where the caption says they're having more than
a fairly good time :/ so sad.”
“I won’t tell you, because I don’t want to ruin pumpkin for you forever.”
“And
I was like, ‘wow, that sounds so delicious!’ Actually, no, I didn’t lie. I
said, ‘I hate pumpkin!’”
“It’s
a community full of old people. And death.”
She
said that while getting out of a car, and I asked her what the context was. “I
was telling my dad that when I was younger, I didn’t know that nursing homes
were for sick old people. I just thought they were a place you lived… You
retired, and then you went to a nursing home!”
When her brother criticized her youthful habit of dancing to songs in movies:
“I’m sorry I had joy in my heart!”
“Mom
and I were talking about my Sad Face today… I still got it!” *pouts dramatically and looks like a kicked puppy*
“‘Slay’
was so last year.”
When all someone could guess in charades was 'donut': “Donut
getting it right!”
“Ladies, get yourself a dog that'll stop walking when you gotta tie your shoe.”
