What did your grandma tell you?
Women are like motor cars, the cheaper they are the more noise they make!
ReplyDeleteNot from my grandmother but another elder in the family.
I was puzzling over number one thinking that your gran meant these far out block fashions, until I remembered tiny tank tops and very short microminis.
Have to agree with her there :D
Not my Grandmother, but my Mother used to always say (like a broken record - oops, dated myself!)
ReplyDeleteDon't sink to their level.
If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
A whistling girl and a crowing hen always come to some bad end. (I think she didn't want me to whistle - which I do to this day)
Sing at the table, you will cry before you go to bed at night. (Another - WHAT!?)
Stand up straight.

Eat all the food on your plate, there are starving children in India.
Children should be seen and not heard.
Pick up your room.
She's gone now but I still live by the things she pounded into my head - well, maybe not all of them!
