Digressions: Silly things we say

I'll get back to my thoughts on getting a life back together again, but, I digress!

This is about the silly things families say...

-Non-cursing-
Daddy: God Bless America and all the little countries underneath her.
Uncle Bill: Mother Goose
Brenda: Mother Ritchkey
A Cousin, Kelly: Good gosh Nina Pope!

-Sarcasm & Silly-
Son - Rob: Oh Goody Gumdrops.
Me: "...but I hope to play one on tv someday."
Gary: "I don't know what it is, but I want my picture taken with it."

-Question/Silly Answer-
QUESTION - Me, as a Child: Where are we going?
ANSWER - Aunt Jo Ann: To Whaleypecker to get a load of rice.

QUESTION - Me, as a Child: What for??
ANSWER - Grandma: Cats fur to make kitten's britches.

-Silly Questions-
My grandfather (I called him Bob) always liked to call his hunting buddies around 8 pm in the evenings. He'd always start his phone calls with:
"Mr. Stewart, Are you sober???"

-Silly Reasons-
After my kids were old enough to understand what married meant, when they'd do something they could laugh at themselves for, I'd say:
"You see the way you are!!! That's why you are not married!."

Guess what those same kids say to me when I pull a "stunt."
