Quotes 

• Harriette : What's goin' on down here and why do I smell cinnamon flavored smoke?

  Steve Urkel : Well, ya see, we had a little muffin mayhem. A small gastronomic goof up. A minor Betty Crocker boo boo.

  Harriette : Laura, translate.

• Harriette : Laura, this oven is set to 550.

  Laura : Well the recipe said to bake at 275 for 20 minutes, so I figured if I doubled the temperature, I'd get it done in half the time.

  Steve Urkel : [laughs]  That's one for the books! How can somebody so smart do something so, so

  [Laura gives him a dirty look] 

  Steve Urkel : So long!

  [runs out the back door] 

• Harriette : Laura, you have never shown any interest in cooking before in your life. The closest you've ever come has been picking up the phone to order a pizza.

  Laura : Well Mom, I got to thinking, someday I'll be going off to college, and I'll be away from home for 4 years, and... I might get hungry.

  Harriette : Could happen. Honey, if you really want to learn to cook, I'll be happy to teach you.

  Laura : Oh, no thanks, Mom, I'll just take home-ec.

  Harriette : Why?

  Laura : Well remember when you were teaching me how to sew? You made me so nervous, I had to go to the hospital to get the thimble removed.
