A Mickey Mouse vacation

  • "The happiest place on earth? Grandma Taylor told me to tell you that is when I'm in Provo, Utah."
  • "So the slogan is 'Dreams Come True,' huh? Is this Disneyland or Napoleon Dynamite-land?"
  • "Oh, yeah, Mom, I heard that noise come from Mickey, too!"
  • "No, seriously, Mom, I don't see Mickey Mouse having a tail, do you?"
  • "Yeah, Mom, I think the costuming is a little over the top, too - kinda a cross between 'Beauty and the Beast,' the Mad Hatter and The Artist Formerly Known As Prince."
  • "Hey, you'd cower too if you were next to some creature in purple and orange clothes, with ears bigger than my head and eyes that never blink. And I STILL haven't seen a tail on the mouse."
  • "Bummer, I was hoping for a visit from Cinderella — and maybe a smooch, too."

  • "Come on, Mom and Dad, go find your own rocket to ride in. This is a little too cramped with three — besides, it's hard to pick up babes at Disneyland when your Mom and Dad are hanging around too close."
  • "If I steer this rocket ride just right, will you let me pull the rental car out of the parking lot by myself on the way home tonight?"
  • "Not feeling too good after going round and round for hours on all the rides ... feeling a little queasy ... a little sick to my stomach ... come here, Mom ... I think I'm gonna ... RRRRRRRRR!"
  • "Please, Mom! I want you to take me on the carousel next! Dad keeps putting me on the pink ponies!"
  • "Oh, I'm just waiting for the fireman to slide down."
  • "Dang, this is attached at both the top and the bottom. I was hoping the bars would loosen up and we'd have a carousel ride like in 'Mary Poppins.' "
  • "Uh, this is even scarier than the 'Mr. Toad's Wild Ride' thing that Braden warned me about."
  • "I'm thinking I'm going to have horrific nightmares for the next three straight weeks — like at about 2 AM every morning."
  • "Quit your complaining, lady, I'll have this wheel's tread removed in no time."
  • "I'm taking a correspondence course to be a trained NASCAR pit crew member."
  • "Hey, which Disneyland ride is this?"
  • "So, you'll swap me this cool wheelchair for my stroller, if I toss in my mom's purse? Deal!"
  • "Uh, excuse me? We spend a day at Disneyland and you think it's time to get all cuddly and close together? Actually, this was going to be a 'guys only' shot in front of the teacups."
  • "Listen, Mom, I'll stop being mad and start taking to you again as soon as you let me go on the Matterhorn — by myself."
