Sayings

Call me demented or crazy or any of that stuff, but I have been thinking.....

There are alot of crazy sayings people grow up hearing/saying.....guess my recent trip to Tennessee brought some to mind...

1. I'll slap you silly
(come on, who gets silly when they get slapped.......MAD or crying but not silly!!)

2. You're gonna poke your eye out
(Kids are careless, but seriously, how many did you know growing up or did you warn as
an adult who REALLY poked an eye out???)

3. Sing before breakfast, cry before supper
(Is everyone supposed to be morose or grouchy when they awake????? So should we
ban all music - including humming or singing????No music in the heart, head or
voice? And as for they crying thing - only the joy of the lord in the morning may
bring tears of joy before dinner!)

4. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!
(come on....don't repairs cost alot more once something breaks????And shouldn't one use good judgement about the upkeep of something, i.e. oil, etc in a car????)

5. If you drink that too fast, it'll freeze your insides!!
(puh---lease!!! What ones of us has not drank down a cold sweet tea, an icee or even
a milkshake.......maybe our insides have been 'iced over for years!)

6. If a frog pees on your hand, you'll get warts!
(don't they all do that when you pick them up.....are all people who work with frogs
and curious children covered in warts?????)

7.If a spider swings down in front of you, you're gonna get a letter.
(my goodness, what an active arachnid population.......thus the need for the postal
service and ever increasing need for postage increases!!So, keep those eyes pealed
for our little friends, and then run to the mailbox!)

8. If you watch TV too much, your eyeballs turn square!
(wonder what shape computer screens make your eyes?? Wonder what effect flat
screens have....or even high-def.......or now BLUE RAY????)

Stay tuned for more!!

Until then, I am praying for you!
