Mom-isms

When we were kids, Mom had a catch phrase or cute saying for just about any occasion.  Below is a collection of just a few of the sayings that we can remember.

 

 

 

Collected Sayings of Barbara Stone (1915-1991)

  • I know how ugly I are, I know that I am no star. But I don’t mind it because I’m behind it, It’s the people in front get the jar.

  • I eat my peas with honey. I‘ve done it all my life. They do taste kind of funny but it keeps them on my knife.

  • I love the tulips in the garden. I love the tulips in the park, but the tulips I love most are the two lips in the dark.

  • This meat is tough. It’s tougher where there is none.

  • You can see better through washed windows.

  • A wise man never blows his knows.

  • It ceased raining and silence reigned.

  • They strolled the lane together; the sky was studded with stars. They reached the gate in silence; he lifted for her the bars. She raised her brown eyes to him, there was nothing between them now for he was just a farmers boy and she, a jersey cow.

  • Sleep sweet in Jesus arms (Gust Stone always used to say that in Swedish).

  • I’ll be tea totally cow-kicked over a mud fence by a mule.

  • One wintry day in summer when the snow was raining fast, the barefoot boy with shoes on stood sitting in the grass.

  • A wise old owl sat in the tree, the less he spoke the more he heard why aren’t we all more like this bird.

  • What’s cook’n good lookin? Chicken, wanna neck?

  • Dad would say "It's tough to be a Swede" and Mom would reply "It's tougher to be married to one."

  • "Are you stiff in the joints?" - 'yes' - "Ma told me to stay out of the joints."

  • "Ma said we could all go."

  • "I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached."
