I have a really close friend whose name is Faith.  Faith has Latin I and English 8 with me, as well as being in both Literati and Concert Choir with myself.  Well, us being - us, we've had several interesting conversations.  And one phrase that commonly pops up is this: "Nobody's ever said that before!"  One day, we realized that we had so many we needed to write a book.  And that's what this is - well, it's a mini-book anyways.  A blog-book, if you will.  Basically, this is a list of phrases we have honestly said that we believe have not been spoken ever before in the history of the entire universe.

It's big.

A little side note: Most of our classes are in the Junior High building, which is mainly for grades 7-9.  The Senior High is for grades 9-12.  Ninth grade is just very confused all the time.  Poor them...  But anyways, because Faith and I are cool, we have Latin I up in the Senior High with a bunch of older kids and several of our own classmates.  But it is a fair walk, rain or shine (or snow).  Many of these quotes were inspired by weather-related circumstances.

**What made it funny was the fact that that was what we were actually saying.

Situation: Latin I.  We had spent all of yesterday telling a fake story in which one of our classmates went to China to buy a several pink dogs.  We had to tell the entire story in Latin, and the day afterwards...  I have kept the whole conversation in English to make it simpler for you guys.
