Yogi Berra is well-known for his unique sayings like, “If you come to a fork in the road, take it.” or, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” In her conversations with Ted, Donna has also crafted some very unique, pithy sayings – which she says Ted has “doctored” a bit. For posterity it would be good to put a few down on paper so that others can enjoy them:



I don’t know: I think I wore myself out when I was little!

This water is so hot it almost feels good!

I don’t know where I was in my dream, but I was somewhere!

I’m going to cut the toothpaste tube into two halves.

If I hadn’t made an effort to wake up, I would have been asleep!

It’s a good thing I’m not a camel!

It’s really bright outside this morning. I can feel it!

You’re making my hair blacker!

If you want to keep the crocuses you pick outside you have to put them in a vase with wet water on the inside.

Today is Thursday. Wednesday was yesterday, and tomorrow will be Friday!

Do you see black when you turn the lights off?

(Donna) We have nuts in the car. (Ted) Yes, we sure do!

I just look at you, and I get rid of things.

It’s pretty hard to see in the dark!

Without the sun, it does feel cooler!

(Donna) Are we going in the same clothes. (Ted) No. You’ll go in your clothes, and I’ll go in mine.

When you turn the alarm off I never hear it!

The hamper has a way of getting full by the time I’m ready to wash!

(Donna) I don’t think I’d like a beard. (Ted) Then you don’t have to grow one!

Do you ever fall asleep while you’re resting?

If it gets cold enough outside we will have frozen water!

I like a solid bed with four feet under it!

I haven’t seen anybody take a bath in our bird bath!

That upside-down flowering tree is going to have trouble!

You are gurgling inside: there must be something in there!

(Donna) Did you say something? (Ted) No. (Donna) Did you want to?

How does it get to be morning when I don’t realize it?

Do you want me to see if that was thunder?

(Donna in the shower) How come it’s so wet in here!

(Donna waking up at 4:30A) I’m glad we’re here!

(Ted) That Kona coffee is so mild! (Donna) Yes! It’s almost enjoyable!

Now you know, dear, the same night we have guests you’re going to have to put the garbage out!

(Donna) I have your shoes. Where to you want to put them on? (Ted) On my feet!

I’m going to see how that pimple is with glasses on!

I’ve learned that average is not what many of us are!

I don’t think I’m going to make it my goal to jump out of airplanes – with a parachute!

The bed looks flat until we sleep on it!

We’re going to have to stick up a note where you can’t see it!

I love to hear you – whether you’re breathing or not.

(Donna) Did you turn off the hose last night? (Ted) No, but I did turn off the water!

Will there be more than one of you at work today?

Are you going to smell good today?

If I don’t put it in the notes, it’s not there!

The smell of a store has a lot to do with the people that come in it!

I really slept good until I woke up!
