My PopPop always said "Horsebiddle"and he was from Philly. He had a Pa-Dutch mother,and said lots of things the German way. "Bump the bell don't make"[Please Knock,the doorbell is broken] "Outen the light"[Turn off the light what do you think I am,rich?] As well as zinc,icebox, and by the way,to bring up an old topic[egg creams]PopPop always mixed milk and gingerale and called it "half and half"! He called Swiss cheese "Sweitzer cheese"and called a game we played at Easter"Uppers". The object of that game was to take your colored egg,that you found in your shoe [that you hid for the Easter bunny under your bed]and point the blunt side up and let someone take the blunt side of their egg and smash it against yours.Then you hit their pointed egg against their pointed egg end.Whoever had at least one side still not smashed won the game. I always tried to win by not cracking any sides of my hard boiled egg so I didn't have to eat it.I detested Easter eggs!I loved to decorate them,but not eat them.Give me "dippy eggs"[sunny side up ] any day of the week over hard boiled! Anyone else play "Uppers",or it is only our weird family tradition? My 3 year old granddaughter Kelly is here,I must go and play dollhouse now. Jerilyn Jerilyn
