From my teen years:
I’ll have another Bartles and Jaymes wine cooler.
But why don’t you want to be my boyfriend?
God, Mom, you’re so stupid.
I lost ten pounds eating only sunflower seeds and drinking Diet Pepsi.
From my 20’s:
Um, the head manager wanted me to tell you that you have a body odor problem and I’m really sorry but it seems that customers are noticing so could you take care of that, um, okay, sorry?
When we deconstruct the paradigm vis-a-vis our own constructed gender identities, we can see that Derrida’s notions are indeed correct.
Of course I’ll proofread your thesis/screenplay/surrealistic novel.
From my 30’s:
The line turned blue.
I’ll be right there to wipe your butt!
Please don’t eat the dog food.
I don’t need eight hours of sleep, really.
From my 40’s: (I’m less than a year into this decade so I can’t think of too many)
Sure, I can drive on three field trips this week.
That one, right there! Can’t you see it? It’s GREY!!!
What do you hope never to hear yourself say again?

I particularly liked this one: ‘When we deconstruct the paradigm vis-a-vis our own constructed gender identities, we can see that Derrida’s notions are indeed correct.’

You’re so creative! Silly but accurate glimpses into those decades. . . .

It took me a little while to figure out “the line turned blue.” Now I get it. Ha ha ha.

Just today I had I said “what do you mean, you pulled your pants down during PE?!?”

Oooh, this was good. Bartles and Jaymes wine coolers—I used to love those! Ugh. I think they’re all sugar.
Here’s a few from my life:
Teens:
Mom, can I keep my paraphernalia here?
20s:
Of course I’ll wash your car—after all, you’re my boss.
30s:
If you don’t like the way I am you can find yourself another wife.
40s:
I just have to read one more blog, then I’m coming to bed. . .
GF, I especially like that last one! YM

Oh.My.Goodness. The body odour bit must bite.
I never want to her about Derrida either. Not after graduation.
Er - what’s with the dog food?

Suddenly realise how meme-worthy this is.

From my twenties: “Two shots for a buck, how great is that?”
