And here is one I'd love to share with all of you and it has some power behind it to make someone smile. My dad always said it and I do now too. It can take a person back and make them think. It can change a frown. It can make someone’s day.... Are you ready for it because you have to try it?

Have you ever noticed in our busy day you pass someone and you say "Hi how are you" And they say fine or "Pretty good” and you keep going without even another word. Well the next time someone says "Pretty Good” you say. "Well if you’re Pretty and Good you’re doing all right". People will stop for a moment and think about it or you'll get a laugh. It works every time. Let me know how it works for you.

And if we did something wrong (once every ten years or so!!!) she would say well, was it worth the rosarys you'll have to say after confession"
