Another poster wrote the say ing "Were you born in a feild." My mom would always growl "were you born in a barn" rferring to when we left doors and windows open.

or her favourite when we were teenagers " If all the other kids took along walk off a short pier would you too?" we always knew we wouldn't get anywhere when she came out with that one.

I thank you for this thread its bvery interesting to see how the sayings from different areas although different are similar in many ways. I hail from Vancover Island Canada.
