I know that in your family some of your family members or maybe even you yourself has old sayings that you say. In my family we had several different ones. I thought how cool it would be if I added a few of my families sayings or mommaisms as I call them and you could share some of yours as well.
‘I just as soon hear a sow against a splinter!’ Great Grandma Boyd said this one day when she was waiting for her preacher to come on the radio and she tuned in a few minutes early and the song Pistol Packin’ Momma was playing.
‘It builds character’ I always said this to my daughters when they complained about doing the dishes.
‘Thunder before seven rain before eleven.’ Grandma Boyd always said this whenever she heard it thunder before seven.
‘Nothing goes over the devil’s back that don’t come up under his belly.’ Mommaw Timb’s advice whenever someone is doing something wrong and they think no one will find out about it. (I think that this one is my favorite.)
' All that glitters is not gold' Mommaw Timbs said this whenever someone was going to get something that they thought was really good for them or they thought it was golden.
That is just a few of them. Now do you have any you would like to share?
God Bless you today and always, Tammie
