Mom's Sayings

In honor of Mom on her 78th birthday, here are some sayings of Mom that Karen, Jenni, Viv, and I wrote down a long time ago and I thought I would put them on the blog. Let me know if you think of others!

"Oh my poor darlin'"

"a little drink of juice"

"BACK, BACK!" (referring to your hair)

"a little bite to eat"

"are you regular?"

"Do we need to have a prayer?"

"Let's start over."

"My mother used to say, if you can say something nice, don't say it at all."

"Rise and shine, kids."


"This is the day the Lord hath made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it."

"Save some for Dad's lunch."


Things that are unique to Mom:
tapping drink and staring out
jumping up and saying, "Let's go!"

Sewing costumes on the way to CA and weddings.
candy machine with her thumbs
Kitty cat with her hands
cutting her Relief Society treat into 10 pieces
