Duct Tape Dyslexia

Kaylee's car had the key break off in the ignition, which was the topic for tonight's dinner.  Arionna was working on creative solutions.

Arionna: "Will duct tape fix it?"

Alora: "No."

Arionna: "But everyone says duct tape will fix anything?"

Alora: "Think about it.  Will duct tape fix your Dyslexia?"

Arionna: "No, but it will muffle it."

Yakkity yak

Kaylee and Marie were having a discussion which turned to having children.

Kaylee: "I'm never having kids."

Marie: "Well, you never know."

Kaylee: "I have the maternal instincts of a male yak."

Marie: "Well hopefully you marry someone with the instincts of a female yak."

Storyteller

Alora is known for tales with lots of (extraneous) detail.  We were at the dinner table eating and chatting.  Alora said, "That reminds me, I got a story.  Let me think about how I want to tell this."

Arionna interrupted, "Everyone get comfortable.  This could take awhile."
