Post Mrs.G's Words

What advice do you think Mrs.G gave was the best? Has she said anything that's stuck in your mind or come true in your life? Do share...

The one thing she's said that's stuck in my mind and has come up in different situations of mine(and have told others) is in the "Free Spirit"episode when she's talking to her son Alex.

"The difference between a dream and a fantasy is that a dream is something if you work hard at may come true and a fantasy is just when you lay back and think it's going to happen."

The one that came right to mind is in "Just My Bill." Jo says something like, "You know what they say--you can take the girl outta the Bronx, but you can't take the Bronx outta the girl," and Mrs. G says "No, that's what *you* always say." I always loved that part.

I always especially remember what she told Molly, "let it out, let it all out!" Because I didn't used to cry or show my feelings at all, but now I always remember that and cry whenever I need to!(or want to)
I also remember everything(I have it memorized) that she told Jo in "Sweet Sorrow" I love that episode!!I also like when she talks to Nat in "Big Fish, little Fish"(I think that's what it's called)and I like, what she says in the ep where sue ann and cindy have a HUGE fight, and the one where Sue Ann goes on a "crash diet" and well, I like it all!Mrs.G ROCKS!!

I'm with you on that one Lizi! haha.... you know me!! MRS. G ROCKS!!!!

But i mostly like the one where she talks to tootie in these 3 episodes...

Growing Pains (USA version has more mrs. g talk and then i like when she talks to the girls too)
Dear Me
Let's Party (USA version has more mrs. g talk too.... but it's precious!)

Then i like when she talks to balir in:
Best Sister Parts 1 and 2
Cousin Geri
A Freidn in Deed (USA version.. of course!!)

i love mrs. g in The Facts of Love though.... it was weird how she all of a sudden is the teacher in a class and is teachign abtou sex.. but i like how she was brave enough to talk abotu ti with them ya know? i always thought she should have done something more for hte girls later in thes easons... more sex talks or somethign.. haha... hey, she did in ONE episode, Best Sister Part 1.... but the girls always made mentions to how she was talkgin abtou that.. like in Free Spriit..
Blair: Mrs. Garrett always said we coudl tell her anythigna dn we odnt have to be embarrassed or afraid!
Jo: Blair! she was talkgin abotu sex this is personal!
there's a mention of it right htere... and i know there were others.. but especially with blair dating so much.. and then there was those 2 epsidoes (one where mrs. g wasn't around) when tootie told her boyfreidn that they coudl have sex... where's that all comming form? ok.. i'm on the wrong subject here.. so i'll shut up.. bye!

Toodles!


------------------
Blair: (reading from a book) Her face flushed hottly. At that moment, he kissed her (laughs)
Nat: Great Blair! You've gone from food to sex and I can't have either!
