Things That I Would Like To Say in Ordinary Conversation, but Will Likely Never Get the Opportunity
Posted by Erin under Pensees- Please pass the persimmons.
- It’s okay! The documents have been hidden inside this Santa cookie jar the whole time!
- Luke, I am your father.
- The goods are pricey, the situation’s dicey.
- I have a scar shaped like Liam Neeson’s nose.
- Who? Oh, I hired him to build a lego sculpture of an ivory-billed woodpecker in my office.
- Did you see that toad explode?
- Why yes, I am an expert on blackheads.
- Have you seen my prosthetic forehead anywhere?
(Update: So far my eyelids are still attached to my face. Good thing! I could probably wear goggles to protect my naked eyeballs during the day but it would be a bummer trying to fall asleep at night. )

I totally concur with that last one. I mean, everybody wants prosthetic foreheads on their real heads, right?

Really? Do you honestly think you’ll never get a chance to say “Please pass the persimmons”? That’s very, very sad.

Or what about…Try this toothpaste I made it myself!

Schuyler– either that, or a rock to wind a string around. I hear they are both pretty popular.
Sarah– Have you ever eaten a persimmon? It seems if I ever get persimmon, it will be part of some other dish.
Amy– Didn’t we actually say that one time? I remember making toothpaste with you– we kept adding mint flavoring to baking soda.

I have eaten a persimmon.
And I think you should, too.

Yes, I was just chuckling to myself about how silly we were…and still are. I don’t think that I will ever be caught saying pass the persimmons either. They are slimy yet statisfying kind of like grubbs.
