Beach bum — West Coast style

• "Yeah, Dad, I buried your wallet and I think it's right here . . . no, maybe there . . . wait, it could be there . . . oh, I can't remember for sure now."
• "Oh, gross, I found someone's foot. Oh, never mind, it's mine . . . Oh, gross, there's wet sand all over MY foot." (from Mitch)

• "Two boards? Oh, it's in case I fall off the first."
• "I don't know which one will get here first — one of my parents to pull me out in the water, the next high tide to reach me here or maybe Christmas!"
• "Where's the steering wheel, ignition and car seat on this thing?"
• "Of course I can see why they call it a 'boogie bored' if this is all it does."
• "Me likes to sit upon two boogie boards . . . it keeps the sand from gettin' in me britches." (from Mitch)

• "Uh, Dad, isn't that our rental car rolling down out of the parking lot and toward that cliff over there?"
• "Um, is it just me, or is that a Baskin Robbins over there?"

• "Oh, yeah, Mom, then the car started rolling down that way and was headed for the ocean out there, and Dad was just kinda frozen in his tracks and not knowing what to do. But I crawled over to the moving car, climbed in and threw on the parking brake before it was too late. A hero? Oh, no, not me! Just doing my part to keep our vacation expenses down."
• "Where's the Statue of Liberty out in the water? . . . You know, the lady that holds the torch like this and the book like that." (from Mitch)
