Where does it come from?

Yesterday as we were riding home ... out of the blue Eli says, "These pretzels are making me thirsty!" ... and then he bursts into laughter. I admit I, too, was laughing so hard I almost had to pull over. Why is this funny? It's funny because that line about pretzels and thirst comes from an episode of Seinfeld. It's been months since that episode, but I remember how Eli laughed and laughed at Kramer (his favorite character) when he kept saying, "these pretzels are making me thirsty." One never knows what Eli is going to find absolutely hysterical ... it just so happens that Kramer puts Eli in stitches. The reason I laughed so hard was because it has been MONTHS since that episode ... and out of the blue ... no reason at all ... Eli looks at me and blurts, "these pretzels are making me thirsty!"

I'll have to call my friend Angela and tell her what Eli said. Angela LOVES to hear about the things Eli says and I love telling her because she has the most infectious laugh ... oh, and she thinks I'm the funniest person on the planet. We all know that I'm not, but you could never tell Angela any different (she's my bud) :)

I think Angela's favorite story about Eli was when I was driving home after picking up both kids from school one day. As we're driving home I suddenly realized that I forgot to run by the store ... and without thinking about Mr. Sponge (Eli) in the backseat, I yell "Oh crap!!" What does Eli say? He says ... "where?"

Where does it come from?

Hi Jen! Did you know that I am a H-U-G-E Seinfeld fan??? I have seen every episode about 10 times and own all the DVDs that are out at this time - I love it!! It is hilarious that Eli said that - I would have ran off the road laughing!!!
So I finally came to visit your Cool Box and I am loving it. Even though we could see each other everyday (I see on my street often!) we don't. Kind of sad but true. I think this is cool and I will continue to visit and see what is going on with you. Lane is 6 1/2 months old now with 2 teeth here and 2 more on the way. My Gosh - time just flies by so fast!! So you are finishing school soon - I am so jealous!! I have not even started on my Master's and here you are finishing - TURKEY!! Nonetheless, congratulations!!
Well, back to wiping baby booty!! Talk to you soon - love DKay
