It's a notable thing to come up with a good comeback...much like a well developed "zinnnnngaaaaaa". I've always appreciated people who could express themselves intelligently and people who can banter with wit. Yet I don't think I've met so many who fit these qualifications so well as I have within the past 8 months. Yet, because it seems our brains flow in a particular pattern, we do tend to use the same old comeback over and over. Cuz, really, when something is proven to be effective and/or appropriate, we'll stick with the good ol' fallback (like poopy and back-side jokes) . So to up the quality of our teasing, mocking, and general bonding experiences, let's see if we can use some of these...remember, if we're teasing you, that means we like you...or we like teasing you...or you deserve it...or not. If you have a good one, let's hear it!
- Why don't you slip into something more comfortable...like a coma.
- I'm ready to listen. Are you ready to think?
- Have a nice day!! (...someplace else!!)
- Well aren't you just the most adorable black hole of need?
- Shhhh....that's the sound of nobody caring what you think.
- I don't know what your problem is but I bet it's hard to pronounce.
- If you have something to say, raise your hand...and place it over your mouth.
- I'm busy now, can I ignore you some other time??
- Don't let your mind wander...it's too small to be let out on it's own.
- I hear you changed your mind at last...what did you do with the diaper?
Now I understand that those, if not executed properly and with the right inflection, can come off a bit harsh. Therefore to temper that try a few of these meaningful compliments (use at your descretion where appropriate)**:
- Let me take a moment to bask in your greatness.
- (clap loudly for a few seconds) That was for YOU!!
- You make us ALL better people!
- You are an Excellent Flosser!!! (you floss, right?)
- If you were a country, you'd be the Democratic Republic of FANTASTIC!
- I gotta say you've got GREAT table manners!
- Woah! Have you gotten even SMARTER?!?
- Could you say something? Cuz I just wanna hear your voice!
- I'd say you are worth 26 calories!

Just a little thought for the day : Life is too short to dance with ugly men. (fellas, I suppose the door swings both ways for that one)
