The Quote Board

We have a quote board on our refrigerator that has been the source of many a laugh at the Higginbotham house. You pray that something you say isn't stupid enough to make the quote board because if it is, it will be up there for a year. I am going to tell a few of the stories behind some of the sayings on the board...some will just have to remain private at the Higginbotham House....

"Honey Glazed Chicken Legs, that's my dancin' name...." Anna
-This quote came from a trip to church....I love to read cookbooks, yes, cookbooks. I was in the car, flipping through some recipes and reading the titles out loud to David to see if he thought they sounded good. When I read this one out loud, I added a little to the end..."Honey Glazed Chicken Legs....." "That's my dancin' name." And boom! Just like that it was on the board!

"Kevin makes Vick look like a computer hacker." Anna
-I had a boss that literally couldn't check his email. Computer illiterate would have been a complement for him. My mother on the other hand, wasn't too far behind him in her knowledge of computers. I was at home one night telling David a funny computer story about him when the words, "Kevin makes Vick look like a computer hacker," came out of my mouth. Boom....quote board.

"You can't kick a gift horse in the mouth..." Anna
-I have a real problem with mixing up parts of old sayings. Literally, I do it all the time and David gets a big kick out of it. One night he was telling some story and my very serious response was, "Well, you can't kick a gift horse in the mouth..." He about peed in his pants...and reminds me quite frequently of my misuse of that quote...boom! Quote board!

The next one, I think should be left to the Higginbotham's....but you could put it together if you want..

And lastly, "Wilson is looking old, he needs just for pups." Anna
-Just for men is made for the old guys with gray beards...just for pups could help Wilson with the whiting around his face...

Looking back on this board, I just realized that David doesn't say anything worth writing down... :)
