For one thing, I learned from my kids that it will be repeated with perfect diction in a crowded airport when a flight`s been missed and the family as a whole is on it`s last nerve.

the only time i remember mama was laughin' too hard to say anything....we had stopped at a red light and all of us was arguing in the back seat of the station wagon as to who was gettin' the window.....well, didn't dad get out of the car, open the back door, took us all out, & spanked every one of us & put us back in. boy, were we quiet then. what a world!
it's still pretty comical forty some years later....

Thank you for this thread.
We lost mum in 07 - three weeks before her 57'th anniversary. I'm still coming to terms with that.
I realised I was turning into my Mum when I caught myself saying "What a NICE young man!"
However, the saying that I use all the time is: 'SMILE & POINT YOUR TOES'
I had thought it was a saying for me alone, as I used to go to ballet lessons, and as the oldest and tallest in the class, would either be the first or last on stage.
I take it now to mean: Go on out in the world, day by day and put a pleasant face on it all, leave your problems behind - show the world that you are just as talented/worthy as the rest of them!
It turns out at the funeral, that she used this phrase for my sister too (11years older - must have done ballet too!)
Not a saying but a doing... Mum taught me to bow at the Full Moon 7 times. I drag my youngest son out with me to do this every month - generally in public. We still see this as a Nancy-ism.
thanks

Yep!!! Got smacked up side the head too!!! :lol::lol:
"life isn't fair" Heard that all the time. I then would say to my kids, "life isn't fair, never has been never will be" I've heard them repeat that!
