Fun:Things my grandmother said.

Things my granny said to me:

(She was a matriarch of the old school)


 * Don't do that!
 * A general & oft repeated remark.
 * Never poke your ear with anything smaller than your elbow.
 * That's what started me on this page - just hurt my earhole with a cotton bud.
 * Do you have to walk around dressed like that?
 * Exposing more than one square inch of skin betweem kneck and ankle.
 * Who is this 'Enis the Penis'?
 * Genuine remark about Elvis (the pelvis).
 * Now he's a nice boy!
 * No he wasn't!
 * They're just girlboys!
 * About the Kinks (a 60's British group with long hair). Thought to imply that they were poofs.
 * I'll try some of that placebo (pronounced "place bow"), it says in the Reader's Digest it's just as good.
 * This is verbatim although I can't recall what it was going to cure.
 * Well all I know is (someone) said Shakespeare's just a lot of quotes bolted together.
 * She quoted in all seriousness a comedian - again I don't recall who.
 * If you can't say anything good, say nothing.
 * This was a rule for other people, she was exempt.

Not mocking, just remembering with affection.

 * Where did I leave my teeth? (Yup, granny was British...)
