A recap on my day with Colleen.
We had lunch at Qdoba today, and were sitting down at table where there was one of those table ads for the restaurant. It was for Qdoba catering and said "Easy enough to feed more than 100, good enough to want to".
Conversation goes as follows:
Colleen: Meg, I don't get it.
Me: Well, Qdoba caters so-
Colleen: Ohhhhh!
Me: Do you really get it now or did you just make that noise so I'd think you got it?
Colleen: I just made that noise. I still don't get it.
Post Qdoba, we walked across the parking lot to this store that sells all the stuff you see Paris dress her dog in. We walked in to the tiny store where small dogs were wandering around barking loudly. We were towards the back of the store when I heard an awfully close bark. I look at Colleen.
Me: Colleen...Did you just bark?
Colleen: Yes.
After getting Starbucks, we went to Len Druskin and tried on ridiculously expensive jeans. And at stores like this, commission-paid employees follow you around like children asking you your name, if they can get you a cold beverage, what size you are, and if they can take more things back to your dressing room for you. Since we never buy anything when we go, we decided that this time, we'd give them fake names just for the hell of it.
Nate (Our L.D. helper): Hey! Can I take some of that stuff for you?
Colleen: Sure!
Nate: And what was your name?
Colleen: Oh...uhh...(literally, 10 seconds passes)...umm..Colleen...uhh..sorry..
After three strikes, we go back to her house to watch TV, apparently unfit for public display. Happily settled on I Love The 80's 1984, they showed a news clip of Tom Brokaw talking about Ronald Reagan.
Me: Oh look! Tom Brokaw!
Colleen: Aw..Rest in peace Tom!
Me: Colleen..He's not dead...He just retired.
Colleen: Oh. Right.

Well done, you. Colleen's quotes are totally dependent on the context and you completely capture her.
I hope she reads this post.
