When we would ask my father a question if the answer was yes he would say "Does a cat have a climbing gear?" If you asked what was for dinner he would say "poke and grits - poke your feet under the table and grit your teeth" or "a jam sandwich take 2 pieces of bread and jam 'em together". When we would act up he would ask if we wanted to go to "fist city by way of knuckle junction." When my grandson was little he would call a pillow a wellwo and would ask whatcha donin?

I hadn't seen my brother in awhile and when I saw him he looked at me and asked "why are you wearing glasses" DUH!

Love the 'irreversable'. My grandson had an 'invisible' coat when he was about 5...and we always had to hunt for it when it was time to go home!

At age 3, my son told his babysitter to stop 'annering me'. (Annoying me)

Another time he asked for 'pineapple' when he wanted apple pie.

One of my nieces would call fabric "threads." We are a sewing family, and her Grandma and others were always sewing, so she was around "threads" all the time. I don't know how old she was before she referred to fabric as such. I'll have to ask her. Now she sews and does machine embroidery, but I don't think she is on here!

About 40 years ago my MIL had a Lybian husband and wife living in the apartment next to hers. One day when the postman handed her the mail, he asked what nationality they were and she said, "I don't know, I think ther lesbians" As soon as she said it she realized what she had said and would no longer meet the mailman at the door. That has become one of our family stories we tell. When she died and we were recalling meaningful and funny things about her we recalled that story and it brought laughter to an otherwise sad occasion.

For some reason, in our family, we say "UN-thaw" instead of "thaw".

My mom has trouble saying the word "dynamite", saying "danny-might". How ironic is it that my sister, Vickie, married Danny? Now sometimes, I'll say "Well, Danny might, but Vickie won't!"

My Dad loves to make you laugh.........instead of "instructions", he'll say "destructions".

I was going shopping with my friend as a teen ager and her little sister wanted to come along but didn't have any money. She asked her mother for some extra money. The mother just looked at her and said "what do you think I do, s*** money? If I did, I'd be on the pot all day!" No, she didn't get any money. I still use this with my kids.
