Script

Me: " Kevin, you eat so much ice cream."
My brother Kevin: *looks at me disgustingly*  "I like ice cream, gosh Kerianne."
Me: "There's going to be none left!"
Kevin: "There's a whole nother carton of ice cream in the fridge."

Phrases Keri O'Donnell

"Such as life."  My friend and I were discussing someone who keeps letting us down.

"...as all get out." My boyfriend constantly says this about anything.  It was "crazy as all get out" or "that guy is weird as all get out."

"a whole nother" My brother was saying there's " a whole nother" carton of ice cream in the fridge.

"no offense, but..." My brother  said to me "No offense, but I think I'm smarter than you." -did I mention he's 11?

"I can't even..." My old roommate came to visit and we were discussing the guy we think is "bae."
