things johna said on her weekend visit

"our old van was making noises like a cat, so we gave it to Karen" (my parents gave their old van to a neighbor who needed it when then replaced it due to some strange sounds that their mechanic said were ominous warnings of doom. I've heard my mom say that it's 'purred like a kitten' since giving it away)

i'll add as i remember. and i do hope i remember...

another one...
we were looking for something to watch on television and i was reading from the guide. I said, 'oh look here! there's a show about a baby who was born with EIGHT limbs' Johna said, "I bet everyone is really really nice to her."
