Soundbites From the Edge

Wikipedia: Soundbite: Characterized by a short phrase or sentence that deftly captures the essence of what the speaker is trying to say. Such key moments in dialogue (or monologue) stand out better in the audience's memory and thus become the "taste" that best represents the entire "meal" of the larger message or conversation. Sound bites are a natural consequence of people placing ever greater emphasis on summarizing ever-increasing amounts of information in their lives. Welcome.

I want to be VERY VERY VERY HOT


Scene:

Clara sleeping, Max at Home Depot, Me and Zoe dancing formlessly with abandon in the kitchen
Spinning: High school musical MEGAMIX full version on repeat.
I'm loving this dance party as much as Zoe. All limbs flailing, hamstrings open from yoga, highest kicks ever. Zoe breaking out in spins on the floor. Suddenly Zoe stops, and looks at me with her serious, I'm 4 going on 16 face and shares her secret: "mommy i want to be very very very HOT when I grow up."
Me: "Zoe, what does that mean."
Zoe: "IT MEANS VERY VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL!"
Me: (after professing how beautiful she is) "Where did you hear about this?"
Zoe: "Max"

Egads!
