Quotes 

• Patty : I wish Bonnie was my mom.

  Christy : Wow, when I was a kid I used to say the same thing.

• Christy : This one took her boyfriend of 48 hours out on Christmas Eve, she said to do some last minute Christmas shopping. But it turns out there was a bar next door to Toys R' Us. So I get up on Christmas morning to an empty house. Around noon there's a collect call so I'm thinking 'Okay, she's in jail again'. No, she got into a fight with dad of the week and needs me to come get her at the park where she passed out... I'm 11... so I drive over there and get her.

  Bonnie : In my defense she was an excellent driver, and she still is.

  Christy : Thank you. So on the way back we stop at a gas station and I buy my own Christmas presents, 2 Milky Way bars and a Teen Bop magazine with a pull out poster of Kirk Cameron.

  Bonnie : I believe there was also a Yoohoo involved.

  Christy : Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yoohoo, nothing says Christmas like chocolate milk that doesn't need to be refrigerated.

• Patty : There's even a stocking for me! It doesn't get any better than this.

  Adam : [unamused in footie pajamas and a Santa hat]  It gets *way* better than this.

  Patty : [phone pings]  It's my mom! She's gonna let me Facetime with Emily while she opens her presents!

  Bonnie : [getting weepy]  Really? That's terrific!

  Christy : Mom, why're you crying now?

  Bonnie : I'm the best sponsor ever!

  Christy : ...You kind of are.

• Bonnie : I was such a horrible mom, I'll never be able to make it up to you.

  Christy : Mom, you already have. You may *just* now be feeling this, but I'm over it. That's why I can tell those stories, because they don't hurt anymore... and also, everybody loves them.

  Bonnie : [laughs]  They *are* a crowd pleaser.

• Bonnie : [Patty plans to get her daughter]  What about your mother?

  Patty : I'll wait until she falls asleep, crawl in through the doggie door, get my daughter, sneak us out of there and find a motel for us to celebrate Christmas in.

  Christy : Oh my God, we're gonna be on Dateline.

• Christy : Well, look who's away in a manger.

  Bonnie : [crying]  Not funny.

  Christy : So... watcha doing?

  Bonnie : Just hanging with Mary... she was a good mom, I mean like me, her pregnancy came as a surprise but then *she* knocked it out of the park.

• Christy : Patty, if you try to make a break for it, just know I'm stronger than I look.

  Patty : No you're not.

  Christy : No I'm not.

• Christy : You are in SUCH a healthier place now than you used to be.

  Bonnie : Healthy? I have straw in my underwear!

  Christy : But you're actually *wearing* underwear now, Mom.

• Christy : I like to think the people living inside my gingerbread house are all very happy.

  [the walls cave in] 

  Patty : Now they're all dead.

  Christy : I prefer to think they got out okay.

  Patty : No, they're trapped under the rubble and there's terrible cell service.
