When I would pout, my mother would say that I should be careful or my lip would stay that way. (stuck out)
Another was, "You're not the only pebble on the beach." We had lots of kids in family and she couldn't favor one over the others.

I would ask the other where is my toy AT? She would say "Right before the AT!" (Meaning proper English would be.... Where is my toy?)
Many others.....
As exciting as watching paint dry! (very boring)
Hot as two weasels breeding in a breadsack (very very hot)
I could go on and on.

My granma taught me to sew and she was my Mother, sister, aunt, best friend and mentor all in one. She was a true hillbilly and grew up in the hills of oregon. She had some strange sayings but one i will never ferget was.....
See that stream? isnt it beautiful and Gods work just as you are? its not straight and perfect to the eye but thats why it was made that way same as you. So when u sew its whats in the heart not the perfect line that counts.
Sure makes sense although some quilters will disagree about a sraight line hehe
