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.
- "if you assume, you make yourself into an ass"
- She didn't like hoses for some reason.
Not mocking, just remembering with affection.
Further contributions welcome:
- Where did I leave my teeth? (Yup, granny was British...)
