My grandma sure knew how to make us kids feel good about things. When I was a little girl, if I would happen to let out a *burp*, I would cover my mouth with my hand and say "excuse me". (my mom did teach me manners!) But if Grandma heard me expel a little girlie *burp*, this is what she would declare to me: "Tis better to burp and bear the shame, than not to burp and bear the pain." Somehow she made even a burp seem important! Did your grandmother have any strange or cool sayings?  |

LOL, My Gram's was Italian and she use to say all sorts of things in Italian (I still don't know what they were). But I rememeber after I got older, and one of my brothers got married she would say
"God made them and the devil put them together"
(You might be able to tell these two are not the best people in the world.)
Grampy was always funny and would say things like "Who sat on that frog?" (when he would pass gas)
or sing "you can have her I don't want her she's too fat for me".
But both of them would always whistle while the worked. and never went to bed without saying "I Love You"

Well, Tam..short of telling on myself...lol....let me just say that I took my little brother to the store, for new crayons in the middle of a thunderstorm. Barefoot no less..
And, to make it worse, we did not tell anyone we were going..Sigh..I think I probably got a little more than yelled at in German..
Setter was sore for a bit after that episode.

When I stayed at Grandma's house and was a bit on the naughty side...(yes, it could happen) she would shake her famous finger at me and say, "I'm going to stand you in the corner, on your head!"
or
"I'm going to shake you till your teeth fall out".
I'm not sure why, but these threats only made us grandkids want to be naughty even more, because we just loved hearing her threaten us! We wanted her to really try and do those things to us!!
