Thread Name: Folklore: Old sayings from childhood
Subject: RE: BS: Old sayings from childhood
from my dad, who had dozens:
"it'll feel better when it quits hurtin'" (to solace small children with minor injuries)
to someone who has dripped gravy, jelly..etc on their shirt "You look good in everything you eat"
on the burdens of life: "if you were carrying all the feathers you could carry, could you carry one more?"
"shake it more than twice, and you're playing with it"
