Finally posting again....

So obviously I am not going to be very good at this since it’s been like a month since I have posted anything. I am going to try to get better I promise!

If you have spent more than 4 minutes with Clark and Grant Yazza, you might know that they have their own language. It’s not German, Russian, Yazzan or American…. Its movie quotes. 

Clark, Chris Croft and Grant

Most boys can memorize movie quotes much better than girls (or spend the time to when we would rather be washing our hair). Grant and Clark would put most boys to shame. Their vast knowledge of movie quotes is not limited to the stupid-funny boy movies mostly starring Adam Sandler. If they see a movie once, they can quote 85% of it for the rest of their lives. But quoting movies is not enough for someone with this kind of knowledge. They use it to communicate in a way that no one else would understand. For instance, “home is where you make it,” sounds like a sweet little sentiment about making the best of what you have. If you agree then you obviously wouldn’t understand their language because it’s really about looking at naked people. I’ve known the Yazza’s for about 10 years (actually I have no idea how long I’ve known them but I like even numbers), I’ve spent quite a bit of my time with them for the last year. I still have NO idea what they are talking about.

When I hear “Two mice fell in a bucket of cream…” I think, “oh no, did they drown”? But I think it’s a motivational speech or about Jesus, still not sure about that one.

Or “ok, ok its puts the lotion on its skin.” First of all, don’t call yourself “it”, you are a person and “a person’s a person no matter how small.”

Also, “we’ve got more money than Davy Crockett,” did Davy Crockett have a lot of money? I’m pretty sure a rich person would at least wear an alligator skin hat but after watching  Swamp People, that might not be true.

Ok, if you’re under the age of 18, don’t read this one… Seriously, I’m telling your mom if you do. “This is one of you….with breasts.” So it might be a sin but I have seen both Grant and Clark without a shirt (the boys at their house have shirtless Saturdays) and neither one of them have boobs. They are both annoyingly skinny so no man boobs.

“I see without seeing, to me darkness is as clear as daylight, what am I?’ I freaking hate riddles. I don’t need to solve some stupid riddle to feel good about myself. I got a piece of paper that tells me I learned a lot of stuff.

This is not even a small sampling of the crap they say. The worst thing is that the whole Yazza family can speak this language. They aren’t all as fluent as Clark and Grant but I’m pretty sure Carly has said that my hair looks dumb via The Notebook. Bryce knows movie quotes too but Bryce is cool. Bryce can speak regular English and make it sound cool.

I have basically the worst memory EVER! Most of my childhood memories are really just stories that my friends tell me and I have to believe. Clark tries really hard to teach me movie quotes. Over the past year, I have successfully memorized 2 movie quotes that I say constantly and wait for my pat on the back. So in about 50 years, I will know maybe 50 because pretty soon I will forget the ones I know now.
