Mom-isms

"That's how the little boy/girl graveyard got started!"

This next one is purely a gttbmism.

For some unknown reason I always called our son, Alan. This was odd because it wasn't his name. Nor did we know or had ever known anyone named Alan!:idontno:

To this day, he's 23 almost 24 now, he signs his greeting cards to me as "Love Alan". :funn: It's a big joke with everyone that knows us. Glad I didn't warp him too bad!

:floor: ...that's worse than.."do you want me to call the bad children police?"

:funn::floor::rofl: Now everytime I'm out with my son and someone has his "real" first name, Adam. He asks, "does your Mom ever call you Alan?" I guess I deserve that. :rolling: So far, we haven't met anyone else that's had this problem. :idontno:

ours got started because this "woman of age" shall we say, started working at cvs with mr audie. she called him david, even tho he was wearing a name tag that has his real name on it. he made the mistake of telling me and our friends that it drives him crazy when she called him david - thus his new nickname...

When we were kids we always got the bit about eyes in the back of the head. Funny thing is I still think it's true! My mother always knows what's happening...how does she do that???

"You'll get worms from eating that raw dough."

"You'll get worms from going outside barefoot."

I had sure forgotten these, but heard them both all my life!! :floor:

I am full of worms for sure then. Up to my eyeballs, probably. I better get de-wormed. Wonder if I can eat the dog's Interceptor???:floor:
