Just Put a Little Lipstick on Honey...

[MorgaineLaFay]

This was my grandmothers motto.

Ex Model turned shrew business woman, with striking redhair. A cross between Mommy Dearest and Garbo.

She called me this morning to chat. When I said I was doing okay, rather so-so. Her remark as always was "Honey just put a little lipstick on and everything will be alright..."

She makes me laugh, which is a remedy in it's self.

What sort of sayings have your family members said to you that stick with you?

my dad's been gone for over 20 years but i still live every day with a couple of his.

"it costs the same to keep the top half of the gas tank full as it does the bottom."

"when you get paid, buy your cigarettes, shaving cream and food first. then you'll never be without them."

"when you're working on you car always check the cheapest thing first. that's usually what goes out."

My grandmother, who taught school for 45 years always told me, "Never confuse stupidity with ignorance." I didn't really know what she meant until I became a teacher.

when we were kids and got hurt, my mom would always tell us: "it will be better before you get married"

whenever i need to go somewhere and really don't want to i remember another of her sayings: "just go - when you get there you'll have fun"

Another one my grandpa always said that cracked me up... even though I don't know where he got it from... was....

"What? Ya say you ain't got no money? Get outta here kids, you're botherin' me!"



My great grandma always had fun sayings such as:
Past the lips
Over the gums
Look out stomach!
Here it comes!

-and-

Cold hands
Warm heart
Dirty feet
And no sweetheart



(I miss her.)

"This is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you."

"The Bible says 'spare the rod and spoil the child"

"You're so stupid"

"You'd be really really beautiful if you lost some weight."

"Do you have a license for that trailer?"

My dad who remarried 5 times after divorcing my mother (he never understood being faithfull). Had a saying regarding safe sex;

"If it smells funky, you better wrap your monkey"

Almost forgot this one;

"If you want mercy, go to church"

When I was 16, I was in the car with the guy I was dating at the time and his father.

His dad decided to share some wisdom with the boy at that time.

"If it smells like fish and tastes like chicken, close your eyes and keep on lickin'!"
