Sayings from Grandma....
#24
I don't remember anything good or helpful out of my Russian grandmother's mouth. Luckily I had limited contact with her in my childhood. But my Mom had some good advice. Kids were notorious for mocking others who may have had mental or physical disabilities, sadly. Lest I join in, Mom would always say, "There, but for the Grace of God, go I..." I have never forgotten her words. She was a kind lady.

My Dad taught us that "you pay just as much for the last drop in the bottle as you pay for the first drop".
I remember that every time I scrape out that last drop of mayonaise or peanut butter or syrup.

You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. I also have heard this saying but what does it mean. Personally I have found that vinegar will take care of fruit flies but I wonder if honey would attract them? Do they get their little feet get stuck in the honey? Inquiring minds want to know.
