My mom had this saying that went like this "Everyone loves a kitten, not that many people love cats!" I never understood this until I got older. Kittens of course are adorable and cats, well are cats. I happen to love cats. And I will love Ginger just as much or more when she is a full grown CAT. Now I am sure everyone grew up with these pearls of wisdom passed down by their folks. Lets share and have a laugh! :rofl:
Hmmmm? Most of what dad said is not repeatable here. Don't recollect mom saying any such.
my dad still says "do what I say, not what I do" - I've always done the last part and I'm all the better for it :-P
Whemier, I have a few pearls that can not be repeated in mixed company! hahahaQuote:

Another favorite, "you can cry til the cows come home." Mom grew up on a farm, I grew up in the city, needless to say this did not translate well!
My Mums favourite was 'tell the truth and shame the devil' a maxim that I have held all through out my life, besides if you tell the truth then you dont need a good memory !!! lol My Dad on the other hand was more practical, he said 'if you earn 20 shillings and spend 19 you will always be happy, but if you earn 20 shillings and spend 21 you will always be sad' another maxim I can tell you is true ! Never really took notice of that till I was in my twenties !!! lol
Just remembered this one today '"Tough titty," said the kitty when the milk ran dry.' I laughed so hard, I was talking to Rex about his empty food dish hahahaha he is on a diet poor fat beagle
