Dad's Favorite Expressions

I found a old note book which I made list of Dad's favorite expressions.
Bunch of Knuckleheads
Bunch of Yahoos
It’s a bunch of crock
Snake in the Grass ( Politicians)

So on & so forth
 They're more afraid of you ( spiders)
Same stuff as ice cream ( cream off top of milk)
Crimeanitly ( sp)
My Aching Back
I’m coming, “So is Christmas”
Like a Dog in the Manger
You scream I scream, we all scream for ice cream
 preciate  ( rub chin)
 dog in the manger
 Go to the barn
 Rise and Shine
"You spend the first 2 years gettin' 'em to walk and talk, and the next 18 gettin' 'em to sit down and shut up!"

Dad loved to garden and shared the produce with everyone.
He earned his gray hair raising six daughters and 7,000 Hens

Happy Fathers Day Dad

  1. Don't forget:
    "You spend the first 2 years gettin' 'em to walk and talk, and the next 18 gettin' 'em to sit down and shut up!"

    Cracked me up every time he said it, which was every time he saw them.

    Great memories. Great father's day post. Love it.

  2. And a politician was a "snake in the grass!"

    When I got fussy over a glob of cream floating on top of my glass of whole milk, he proclaimed it was "same as ice cream." Was not!

    Love the picture and the post.

  4. "I don't know what's the fuss about spiders. They're more scared of you."
