I hope that you are having a happy new year, filled with funny quotes for Quote of the Week.
I would like to congratulate last week's two winners, Becca's Mom and Roz's Mom on their hilarious quotes.

"They probably both thought the other was drooling, and were too polite to say anything." -- Roz's Mom, after he told her Josh and Emily didn't get mad when he poured water on them
Now, here this week's quotes:
