QUOTES These are some of my early favorites. I received these really fun quotes from Rachelle (You rock! Thanks! (c:): Enjoy: Quote #1 "If one of us says we want to get a face-lift, we'll just get a pan and hit them on the head" -Zac "BONK!!! There's your face-lift!" -Taylor Quote #2 Interviewer: [To Zac] How do you get your hair so shiny? Zac: Well, I use the green goop in the swamp in the back our house. Then I get it all mushy in my hair. Isaac: That's because you never wash it out!! Taylor: Then he lets it dry for a week and peels it off. Then it becomes shiny. Quote #3 "Over time, we found a love for music" -Isaac "Yeah, we're engaged to it" -Zac "We're engaged. The wedding will be pretty soon. We're just trying to get the honeymoon worked out" -Taylor
