"Who let the pigs out? Who, who, who, who, who?" - Bethanna, age 34

" 'All right,' says the dentist to Wood's sister, 'now with this pitchfork I'll get that sore tooth out in a jiffy!' " - Hinky, age 21

"How much longer is it going to take you to paint this picture? I'd rather pick weeds from the garden than sit here posing for you." - Brad, age 13

"I think we stepped in a cow pie." - Carling, age 12

"Why'd you bring such a big fork? Don't even think about cleaning my teeth with that!" - Michelle, age 17
