' Go to Sayings'

[Sassycakes]

Thinking back my Mother never had a saying if I did something wrong. She just had a Look on her face that made me want to run.

When I was old enough to start dating, one thing my mother would say, and I just hated it and still hate the saying to this day is "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"

When my brother and I were very young we resisted bedtime. We even debated it when she told us it was time. Finally she came up with an explanation. She set the oven timer (neither of us could tell time but we figured the timer would be fair with us.) We always called the timer "the dinger" and we trusted it. From then on no debate if the dinger went off it was bedtime.
