TGS: Charlie, Good Choices & Marriage Concerns

Occasionally Gracie will shoot Charlie a one liner in the back seat, and then ignore him. Recently as he screamed on the way home, she looked over him and deadpanned:

I'm really tired of this, Charlie.


And another day, into dead silence:

I can't be your mother, Charlie.


Post-reprimand, Gracie sometimes likes to go over which choices are good and which are bad.

Mommy: That was not a good choice.
Gracie: Like bothering is not a good choice? Like you bother me?


We've also been discussing the kind of "prince" Gracie should marry. I've told her he should be funny, smart, and nice. (I also had to break the news that he can't be in her family, which knocked her favorite men--Daddy, Charlie, and Uncle E--out of the running.)

Gracie: Who can marry Charlie, me or Abby?
Mommy: Abby.
Gracie: Abby? I think I'm going to be kind of grumpy if there's no mans left.
Mommy: I think there will be a nice man left for you.
Gracie: Well, I think I'm going to be grumpy if there's no mans. Then I can't get married!
