Katrina: ‘You going To Eat Your Tots?’

At Notes on a Napkin, Katrina spells out 10 movie quotes that she and hubby Paul use in everyday conversation, including:

  • “Not the cow.  I just ate that cow!  Spasm!  Spasm!” All purpose announcement of indigestion.
  • “I’m sorry, I was whack.”  “I was whack.” Instantly deflates an argument and prevents it from escalating into something truly ugly.
  • “You gonna eat your tots?” Begging for food from someone else’s plate is a universal annoyance.  Being cute about it helps your chances.

You can find the rest of Katrina's list here.

Question: Can you think of a movie quote or two that you or your family uses in everyday conversation?
