chill sunday evenings watching the fave again

1x01

ben, karen and jake are literally the same age as my 3 youngest sisters are now and have the same personalities. it’s actually hilar.

also, as someone who lives in a chaotic house and now lives in london, the whole thing is a mood

chaos on the district line, nothing unusual

“what’s a hypocrite?”

“what’s a twat?”
“that’s not a very nice word for children to use is it? where did you hear that?”
“when you were arguing with mummy”

“did you hear any other words?”
“something about midlife...something about pellock...ponk and tight bum.”

the way sue is just laughing in the background

the fact that this is semi-improvised makes me laugh because you can see when hugh and claire are trying not to corpse over something the kids have said

“nobody like little boys who lie”
“some people do”

ben is literally my little sister

“what is it?”
“a cow killing people because it doesn’t want to be eaten and made into food...that’s why i don’t like burgers”

“have you seen my keys?”
“sorry i can’t help you. i’m concentrating on not being self-conscious.”

the amount of ‘oh for f-‘s is a mood

“no sweetheart that’s the school caretaker...george bush is the president of the united states.”

“do you think your teachers want to know about our wing mirror incident...or eventual lack of wing mirror”
“i mean that’s what we did in the holidays.”

karen: “do you think i could keep a nit as a pet?”
sue:

“first off ‘road rage’ is 2 words. you don’t spell ‘psychopathic’ like that, and i can’t remember your mother saying that. that...yep...and that. but not that.”

“why can’t we get, like, a giraffe?
“a giraffe?!”
“we could keep it outside”
“well no because giraffes are a bit big aren’t they, darling?”

“no you can’t have a bit town in your hair.”

“the virgin queen has four children now...one of them’s a helicopter pilot.”

1x02

“you can’t just eat pudding!”
“you can if you’re a vegetarian”

as a pescatarian, mood

finding the house phone in random places is the same in my house

sue everytime veronica rings

“they’d have him for breakfast at my school.”
“they’d have mike tyson for breakfast at your school.”

“there are children in africa starving.”
“well why don’t you just send it to them?”

“bloody veronica” ha

“...she has a boy just like ben, and it’s fairly reassuring.”
“because?”
“because he’s slightly worse than ben...”

ben to sue: “there aren’t any wolves around here; we are in london, don’t forget.”

deion: “they have wolves in scotland.”

karen connecting several straws together just so she can drink her drink at a distance at the top of the slide

“it’s not global warming you should be worried about. it’s the carbon bloom. when the tundra melts&peat releases co2 trapped in it then it goes into the earth’s atmosphere&the temperature shoots up about 10c in a couple of days”

“then what happens?”

“everyone dies”

“excellent”

“it’s important to not fall into the trap of over parenting”

“more internet?”

“no! ... i read it in a book”

the sue/angela relationship is also me and my sister

1x03

“ben are you making rude hand signals at the driver behind?”

“no. he’s making them at me.”

“lets see who can tell the biggest lie.”

“i like auntie angela.”

possibly the funniest karen moment

sue: “bloody hell”

karen:

“if your nose runs and your feet smell, do you think you might be upside down?”

“mummy keeps saying the same things over and over. does that mean she’s old?”
“what does she say?”
“grow up, stop being silly”
“she says that to you?”
“no. she says that to dad”

“you okay?”
“yeah. he’s just worried about the extinction of human kind.”

“would you like a cookie?”
“in england we call them biscuits.”

“would you rather be a pig or a rabbit?”

karen just cartwheeling away from auntie angela haha
