Lisa sent us a list of Dad's sayings that Logan asked for for Christmas.

Lisa's List
Mom. "I quit."
Grandpa Vermal: "You make a better door than a window." " I'll stomp a mudhole in you." "Poolhall" when he answered the phone. "Amen, Brother Ben. Shot a rooster and killed a hen." "By add/aughter there." (I remember "By God there."
Grandma Grace. "On it." ( I remember her always saying it 3 times.)
Aunt Mary: "We're off to the races now."
Dad. "Were you gone? when asked if he'd missed you. "Colder than a mother-in-laws heart." "Colder than a well diggers patootie." "Hohtter than the hubs of hell." "Son of a biscuit eater." "Well, I'll be go to hell." "Are you feeling froggy?" "Rinky dink Mickey Mouse piece of shit." Wish in one hand and crap (I remember shit) in the other and see which fills up first." "If I wanted any crap (I remember shit.) from you I'd scrape it off your teeth." "If I wanted any crap (I remember shit, again.) from you I'd unscrew (I remember rip) off you head and scoop it out."
Deb's List.
I don't recall anything particular Aunt Chardy said, but that laugh.
Aunt Minerva looking down her glasses at you.
Aunt Kay the Christmas she made The Kitchen Witches comparing herself to Jeffrey Dahmer.
Mom/Dad: "I don't care who did it."
Uncle Dean. "Glad you got to see me."
Bill Brown and the little baskets he carved from peach pits.
Uncle Dale asleep behind his newspaper.
how cute Grandma Grace looked in her rolled up overalls mushroom hunting.
Grandpa Vermal waterskiing.
Grandma and Grandpa grabbing your face with both hands and kissing you right on the mouth.
Brenda's List
Dad always said "Well, did you learn anything from that?" or "Do you feel any smarter now?" when you'd bump your head or even just hurt yourself. "A little birdie told me" when he found out something we had done before we were forced to confess.
