My mom used to have all these sayings about itches;
If your hand itches, you are going to get money,
If you nose itches, you are going to kiss a fool,
If you foot itches, you are going to lose something.
I know there were more, but I was never one to listen to my mom.....

**My mom would always say..."If you want to make God laugh, just tell him your plans."

**It's the bee's knees.

**It's the cat's meow.

"Worry about yourself!" From my mom - I was quite a tattle-tail as a child.

My old aunts used to say, "God-willing" a lot.

One of my favorites is, when someone says a bad word--I can't believe you eat with that same mouth.

My Daddy always said, tell the truth and you won't have to spend so much time remembering who you told what.

My Mama would say, "I would like to buy them for what they are worth and sell them for what they think they are worth. I could make a fortune."

"Put your big girl panties on and deal with it."
"What goes around, comes around."
"You made your bed, now lay in it."
"Treat others as you want them to treat you."
"Fit as a fiddle."
"Close the door. Were you raised in a barn?"

Give that girl some butter cuz she's on a roll ! usually said when us girls would get together and get the giggles as one would take over the jokes, etc.

My dad always told me when going out as a young adult,
"Be good or You Better be good At It!" Whatever kind of trouble It was......that we may be getting into.

My mom's favorite line was, "Be careful what you wish for it just may come true."

Ron White's, "You can't fix stupid!"

Never kick a gift horse in the mouth.

I was born at night, but it was not last night!

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

The accuser is usually the guilt one.

Nuts don't fall far from the tree.

"Goodness gracious Godness Agnes." From my Nana
" Oh sh*#, Oh dear." From my mum.
