Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
You, my dear are Priceless! I wanted to read what everyone did with this prompt, so I could see if other's interpreted it the same way I did.
Yours is so great that I wish I had another six left. My favorite was, Kamala Harris back in first grade. My take on that is she doesn't act like she ever made it any farther. She must have missed all the courses in social skills, but then look who picked her. Mr lightbulb himself, except his burned out a long time ago.
(President Trump must have hidden all those documents in biden's home)
Sorry, I should never get started on them..... And if you only knew how many times we laugh about Forrest Gump's stupid is as stupid does.
I think you get by now, I think yours was great. Awesome job my friend.

Thanks, Debi! I really appreciate you neat comments!
Will now find yours.
-
aha! you haven't submitted it yet.

Lol, I am in process of writing, but you and a couple others almost scared me off, as yours is so good.
Then I realized it is all in the fun of the writing, as you certainly proved in yours.

thanks again. I look forwrd to reading yours. Yeah, I'm a sucker for these contests. love 'em. The only problem for me is not being able to raise them very high.
Comment from Sarah Tummey
Some of these made me laugh. I liked the one about telling that to a twin, forgetting your glasses at night, and negative encouragement - I think that might be my new name for criticism! Thank you.

Comment from judiverse
Very clever! I like the quotations you chose. Your replies are all witty. I imagine many people would like to send Kamila back to first grade. Some of her comments sound like that's where she belongs. Lebron James probably couldn't think of anything clever to say and has to rely on others to put the words in his mouth. I especially like "Sticks and stones don't affect my salary.' Best of luck with this. judi

Saw that precious picture of you with your radio crew from Helen's interview with you. Big smile. Too cute!
Thanks for your comments on Famous quotes. They are much appreciated.

You're welcome. This was a fun contest. I'm glad you liked the picture. As you could see, I'm shortest one in the group. They have four microphones, and they are adjusted to accommodate the various heights. I get the small one. judi
Comment from JLR
Pome Lover, very masterful entry! I am especially fond of : All that we are is the result of what we have thought. Budda!
You have added your customery flair to each and should do well in the contest. Write often, live long!

thank you so much for your very kind words! I write so often I've about grown to this chair, but I love it, so, as a good friend of mine used to say, "there you have it." ;)
Love the picture, by the way! Was that taken in Flatrock?

Comment from Terry Broxson
Kathrine, LOL, this is a very clever write for this contest, good luck. I do think they are all good, but I particularly like the Budda and the Elon Musk responses. And the best of all, "I would like to live longer...Amen, Sister! Terry.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Hahahaha! These are great! I love what you chose -- the quotes themselves are very interesting, but how you have interpreted them is hilarious! And you give us three choices! LOL. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from lyenochka
I like your versions of these very varied quotes. You have some funny alternatives to these quotes. You're right that the Buddha saying does make one wonder. Best wishes in the contest!
Spelling:
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. Budda (Buddha)
number 2. under Budda is very deep. :) (Buddha)

It's quite common to drop the 'h' in Indian names. You're definitely not the only one!
Comment from T B Botts
Hello Katharine,
This was great! How funny! I read a book once by Robert Fulghum the author of All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. I believe the name of it was Things I wish I'd wrote. It was all kinds of quotes from various authors and some of them were hilarious as well. Good luck in the contest gal.
Have a blessed evening.

Tom, I forgot, before, to thank you for the 6!!! Thank you, thank you!
I've got a couple of Robert Fulghum books somewhere. I'll have to check them out again and see which ones I have. I used to really like him.
I 've got to see what you've been up to. :)

First of all, I wonder how you chose these four quotes. I believe your rebuttals are quite creative. The format you chose makes the quotes and rebuttals stand out.I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

well, to tell you the truth, I Googled 10 famous quotes, and picked those 4. I especially loved Musk's remark, which encouraged me to go for humor.
