Previously Unuttered Sentences

I was at a friend's for Thanksgiving. Georgie, a ten year old girl, had some problem with her nose that she didn't seem to want to talk about. Her brother Patrick started to tell us what was wrong with her nose and Georgie told him "Patrick, it's not your nose to explain."

I love that because a) it's funny, and b) that sentence has probably never been said before.

Supporting evidence for claim (b):


Your search - "it's not your nose to explain" - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

* Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
* Try different keywords.
* Try more general keywords.
