Reply #123: God didn't die and leave you in charge - Mom

Some more from my mom:

-- You're not going to church looking like that. You look like a cafone!

-- If my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a trolley car! - Mom's response to "if" sentences.

-- You look like Maggie off the pickle boat! - Mom's remark to us when we looked disheveled. One day, Mom took me to Nathan's for lunch. She ordered a shrimp boat, so I asked her, "Mommy, is that Maggie off the pickle boat"?

Now some from the rest:

My Italian grandpa had a foul mouth, but wouldn't swear in front of children, especially us. He forever said, "What is this nyit (his word for shit)?" Most of the time, he swore in Italian.

Close the door! I'm not heating the neighborhood! - Dad
