When I was young I thought my Mom's old saying "Beauty is skin deep, but ugly holds it own" was so funny. Then I went to a reunion and guess what? She was right.
I would always tell my children when they came in dirty from outside - well you are washable you know.
Another line I would catch myself saying due to the fact that all of our childrens names started with A's, well you know which one you are when I would say one name and actually meant one of the other ones.

Can you tell I grew up in the 60's my mom's saying.
That's why I told you not to do it.
Knee high to a grasshopper
It's raining like a cow peeing through a screen door.

Knee high to a puddle duck.
Funnier than the split hairs on a frog's back.
YOu see the look on my face and you're still talking to me?
That's the last straw on the camel's back
If she jumped in the lake would you follow her? (of course)
