Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 So, just how bad were you anyhow?? lol I was a pretty good kid really but when I turned 14 I became an idiot fer awhile.One time Mom broke a wooden spoon on me and I laughed, she then threw a cup of chocolate pudding at me, she missed it hit the wall and I had to clean it up before my Dad got home. I was "sassin"" her back and she got pi%$ed off! Teenage years! ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 My Mama, when she was frustrated, would say, normally, either "Hell's bells", or "Christ on a crutch". Never really figgered out what they meant, but it could be that, because of the alliteration, they just rolled easily off the tongue. "Hell's bells" is the closest I ever heard her to cussing. When one of us boys would go a little far, she would threaten, "I'm gonna tear off your arm and beat you to death with the bloody end". There's still the three of us, so I reckon she never did it, but she surely threatened it a time or fifty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickahominy Charlie Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 My Dad had a bunch of 'em.....Charlie-isms we've later come to call them.... One of my favorites: "Boy, I'm gonna stomp a mudhole in your a$$ and then stomp the water out of it if you don't quit......" My Mom, on the other hand, was calm cool, and simply devastating with: "I'm soooo disappointed in you...." Chick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouchy Greg, SASS#71981 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I don't know about a phrase, but my dad had a look, he'd raise his eyebrows and look over the top of his glasses. When you got that look you were instantly put in your place without him speaking a word. ================================================== My granddad had a look like that. If I didn't take the hint that the look implied, the next step was him stepping outside and cutting a switch from the forsythia bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint McCloud 3103L Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Although my Great-grandfather would take me to the garage and use the razor strop on me, he'd normally just say, "get to the garage"... My mom is the one who used to say things like "I'll slap you up to a peak and knock the peak off" or similar to what has been said... "I'll stomp a mudhole in you and drain it dry"... There were so many more that folks at work started carrying small notebooks around to write down all the sayings... they all came from my family...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 All my father would say to me was, "Son you did a good job. I am proud of you. Wish I had more sons like you!"

Calamity Kris Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 My cursin's were in German from my mother, then English from dad when he got home. If I did something REALLY bad, mom would take the wooden spoon out of the drawer and lay it on the counter so it would be ready for dad. I knew I was in real trouble then....... I should clarify this by sayin' my folks cursin's were just that, cursin. No foul language was EVER uttered in that house or the offender, usually my sister, would really get a whoppin. Mom would call me the equivalent of "idiot" "stupid" "dummy" etc. and dad would do the same in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep.. wait until he gets home.. loll... I could not wait as a child so that never worked on me. Tonight my dad's words were I love you more than life, and always have .. and mine were you know dad I believe in miracles.. and he smiled and said you believed in Santa far too long, hard to tell what you believe in... lol... I spent the evening trying for humor .... that I am not sure anyone else felt. Prognosis... is not in my genetics.. all I could say is Miracles happen.. plug my ears and hum.. it makes him laugh.. and me too.. lol.. Cuz, laughing makes us closer than anything else does in life. We never have been much to face our "issues" as Rush says.. lol. We simply try to think of the good, dream for the best.. and love for today .. I pray that is enough.

Deja Vous Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Deja... you'll have plenty of company in those prayers. Thanks Curmudgeons... there are so many reason I was called "deja vous" as a kid.. lol.... I was an over and over again kinda kid with sillyness.. I simply hope I can make him smile until he can smile no more... and that I can keep smiling because he expects me to. My father never admited a weakness past his love for his family and wife and friends.. I can not remember him saying anything but "i am fine".. "everything will be fine" .. "you do believe in miracles still don't ya" was my phrase, but he used it after the first time I muttered it when I was about 6... He was the strongest man in our country I thought.. and I guess he still is because nothing stops the fight in him. They gave him 4-6 months today... and he said.. heck.. I heard that before... It was amazing.. if I can have half the grace as my father I would be so proud. I do believe in miracles.. and always will.. until the very end.. I am sure by some miracle he will love a bit longer, so I can enjoy him a bit longer. 4-6... years maybe... I am betting years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slackwater Jack, SASS #42272 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I talked to dad tonight and as usual he waited until the last minute to tell me the news. On Weds,. they will be taking a look at his prostate cancer's results this time. He made the decision to take alternative treatments after having colon re-sectioning last years. So, of course I am hoping for a good result, and I am taking the day off to spend up the mountain with him and go to the doctors visit with him. But it did make me think today about what we learn from our families. I guess when he says I am fine, it pretty much means it could be worse, but the results are not in, or he doesn't want to burden me with it.. lol... Gosh, at 91 you get to burden me!!!!!!!!! lol.. Tonight when we talked he muttered the famous line, " I am fine" and I knew he was not , but was refusing to accept it.. lol... Guess I do it too, I know my siblings sure do. My brother fell last year, and could not get up because he injured his knees. When the ambulance arrived he said.. "I am fine"..... lol... Uh, sure you are. I suspect their wives know a lot more than I know.. lol... So, I am thinking I am fine until Weds anyhow.. Family Phrases... got any?? Deja, darlin', I have just one little question for you, then I'll keep my peace. You do know what 'fine' stands for, don't you?
