NOW! I get it.

Here are some phrases my grandmother use to tell me that made absolutely NO SENSE at the time, but now that I've aged a bit make a lot more sense and I even MIGHT say them too...occasionally.

-Make sure you have on clean underwear in case you get in a wreck!!!! 
   
-Remember who you are and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

-Please don't embarrass me.

-You don't have to pour on your perfume.  A little dab-will-do-ya.

-I dare you to pitch a fit, cause I ain't afraid to wear your butt out in public.

-Just because we have pasta and mayonnaise does NOT mean we have things to make pasta salad.

-Now that you've started shaving your legs, you must continue to shave your legs.  It's not a one time thing sweetheart.

-want in one hand, spit in the other, and see which one gets full first.

-you've got champagne taste with a beer pocketbook

-Don't speak something today, you're gonna have to rebuke tomorrow.

ahhhh ya gotta love good ole common sense...or so I'm told.  I'm lacking in that department.
