"Mom-isms..."

If my mom was still on this earth she would have turned 70 a few days ago. She is eternally young in my mind: even though she had a lot of health problems she had a young, playful spirit. Mom loved to bowl, play volleyball and softball (she could hit the ball a mile) and had a number of 200 games in bowling. While we tormented her with kidding she loved to play board games or cards. And yes, I miss her.

I'm not sure what prompted it but something I said or thought made me start thinking today about my mom's sayings. She had a bundle of them - just thought I'd share some of "her" (my) favorites:

10. My stars and guitars (not sure to this day what that means).

9. (When we were pretty young and us boys were always fighting, as little boys tend to do): "You sit there and don't move a muscle".

8. Your mama's as broke as a convict (we knew that meant she probably only had a couple of hundred dollar bills hidden somewhere :)).

7. You're mama's little angel...

6. You're killing me...(of course, when we weren't being mama's little angels).

5. "mairzy doats and dozy doats and little lambsy divey A kiddle divey, too. Wouldn't you?" (mom sang a lot - silly songs and spiritual songs - I still don't have a clue what this one means).

4. "I can't watch..." (when Alabama would be playing football and it was really close she'd go in the other room so she couldn't see).

3. "Can't never could..."

2. Moms proud of you.

1. If you will ____ (whatever she needed done at the moment) mom will dance at your wedding.

I know I left out some really good ones - she said so many fun and funny things. What were/are your mom's favorite sayings?
