Peterisms and Photo Waste Land

My 14 year old brother Pedro has dropped some real rubies over the course of the vacay...some of which are appropriate enough to share:

"Will you take a photo of me kissing Julia on the cheek please?"

sure Pedro. 

~ "I think I'll go ahead and let one of your future daughters be the flower girl in my wedding...which will be happening in exactly 13 years"

~ (to store clerk downtown) "I've seen these headphones you are selling for fifty dollars on Amazon for twenty dollars." (and the guy agreed to sell them for twenty if Peter would agree not to tell a soul...but Peter did not purchase)

~ "That birthing store was expensive!" (referring to a maternity store)

~ and of course the, "I see you've gained some weight" to me upon arrival
