While were on this subject, has anyone ever heard the expression (And I'm working phonetically here) "You'll fall down and break your "Pile Crane"?" My granny (who used to "swan to her soul" as well) constantly admonished me with this line and I NEVER could figure out what it meant. And now, to my chagrin, I find myself blurting it out at children zooming through the house and yard. :) -----Original Message----- From: Rita Myers [mailto:mamamia88@hotmail.com] Sent: Saturday, June 09, 2001 5:27 PM To: MOMARIES-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MOMARIES] Old sayings I remember my dad's favorite saying as...."Well now don't that beat a hen a 'peckin!" Sayings all change with the times. I have a 13 yr. old son,& it seems he's always comimg up with some silly slang expression. His children will no doubt laugh at his words some day too. :-) Rita _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ==== MOMARIES Mailing List ==== ============================== Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 Source for Family History Online.
