With "Fuller House" at the top of everyone's "must watch" list, it can be easy to forget about the important role Michelle Tanner played throughout the series. While she was mainly used for comic relief, there were many times her simple one liners were just exactly what we needed to hear. Here are a few examples:
1. Ice cream is very important.
No matter what we do to justify it, there's no getting around the fact that ice cream might not always be the healthiest of options. Despite the fact that the health benefits aren't exactly there, there's no denying the fact that there is always a time for ice cream. There is nothing wrong with wanting to kick back, watch some "Fuller House" and eat straight out of the pint.
2. Next time, only buy the middles.
OK, there's always that person who only likes the cookie part in an Oreo. However, I've encountered far more people who enjoy throwing out the plain cookie part, and only enjoying the double stuffed cream with half a cookie. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking all the middles from a package of double (or triple if you're feeling adventurous) stuffed Oreos and making one giant cookie filled with more cream than you'll know what to do with.
3. Now I'm a movie star.
Sometimes, a little dressing up is all we need to feel like a million bucks. Feeling like a movie star for a period of time is all we need for that extra confidence boost. A little dressing up every now and then, especially if it brings out our inner movie star, is the greatest feeling. Not to mention, it's nice practice for walking in heels.
4. Don't say it if you don't mean it.
For a toddler, this might be one of the best things Michelle has ever said. We can learn a lot from the wisdom of a 5-year-old. As she says, don't say something if you don't mean it. What's the point in saying things you don't mean, especially because we know the truth always comes out at some point. Honesty is the best policy!
5. I'm wearing the hat, where's the party?
Who ever said we needed a reason to party? Some days, wearing the right hat is just enough of a reason to celebrate as anything else. On those feel good days, you don't need a reason to dance around and have a party, just do it!
6. I am pumped!
Just like how we don't need a reason to party, we don't need a reason to be pumped either! Waking up in the morning and knowing a great breakfast is waiting for you could be enough to get you pumped! Or walking out of that really hard test knowing you aced it. Or maybe just knowing you get to sleep in tomorrow gets you pumped. No matter what it is, just know you don't need a reason.
7. You gotta be kidding.
OK, let's get one things straight: it is OK to stand up for yourself. You don't have to sit there and listen to something you know is a lie and just take it. Even if you're not good at being confrontational, there's nothing wrong with a simple, "you gotta be kidding me" to let someone know you're on to them. It can be hard, but don't let other people take advantage of you.
8. You got it, dude.
Don't assume other people can read your mind. Some asks you to do something? You got it, dude. You want me over at what time? You got it, dude. Oh, you want to buy me that bunny? You got it, dude.
9. Oh boy, spaghetti!
It is OK to get excited over the little things! If your mom is making spaghetti for dinner, maybe it's really simple but maybe it's your favorite thing she makes! Refer back to number six and get pumped because there is nothing wrong with being excited over spaghetti. Or anything else, for that matter.
10. You're in big trouble, mister.
Whether you're simply quoting Michelle,or someone really is in trouble, here's your perfect catch phrase. It's great for lightening the mood, but can also be used if you need to be serious. This goes along with not being afraid to confront someone when they've done something to upset you. Use it as an easy transition into talking about it, or just mess with people until they apologize for things you don't even really care about and watch as they panic.
11. Don't worry, be happy.
At the end of the day, Michelle is right. Don't worry, be happy. There is an old quote that says, "Be so happy that when others look at you, they become happy too." Just smile and remember not to worry because everything will work out the way it's supposed to. Don't worry! Be happy!
