GUEST,bbc at work	Folklore: Old sayings from childhood (232* d)	RE: BS: Old sayings from childhood	16 Sep 03
Fond memories of trips in the family car: How long till we get there? Couple hours, honey; couple hours! Dad's favorite saying: If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all! I may not have mastered that one, but I've sure passed it on my children & my students! Dad also spent a lot of time trying to teach me the distinction between can & may. I knew the difference, but didn't find it to be socially acceptable in my peer group to speak properly. Sorry, Dad! Nonetheless, I am passing the same message on to the next generation (who also don't want to hear it!). best, bbc
