My grandmother who was just awesome, not educated but awesome. She would say things like will you "hope" me do this, when she was taking clothes out to the line; another thing she was something like "wrench that out in the zinc" ! Even till the day she died she called the refrigerator the ice box because that was what she had known for so many years ! I remember as a very little girl she really did have an ice box; put a block of ice in the top and it would keep the rest of the "box" cold plus you had an ice pick and would break ice off the big block for iced tea !
SOMEDAY I'm sure that my children will be responding on chat blogs with stuff I say ! My youngest always makes fun of me when I saw Fire House, rather than fire station, UNTIL she saw a local publication that mentioned the city was honoring the firemen at the local Fire House ! So There !
