...yes, yes I would.

Funny how parents say things that piss you off for your entire time living at home, then when you move away to college they just start popping out of your mouth without warning! 

My mom would always refer to something and stick a "-type situation" on the end. For instance, trying to make me eat steamed broccoli: "Now Mollie, you should have some of this broccoli-type situation." It doesn't really make sense, but it makes sense to me. And I've started saying it. When I was doing a drawing and talking to myself, I was deciding between a "pencil or charcoal-type situation." Oy vey. 

My parents always called hair ties "Hair hoos." It sounds silly, that's why it appealed to me as a kid. I always have to bite my tongue when I find myself about to ask someone for a "hair-hoo" cause I would like to avoid strange looks from people who don't know me. 

My dad would always "bass-ackwards" instead of "ass-backwards." 



Or you just start to find the sayings amusing. Funny how you start to appreciate your parents' quirks when you stop being a self-absorbed teenager and start noticing them. I found a conversation with my dad from a while ago on AIM, and he told me these wise words of wisdom: "A potato in the hand is worth four on the plate. That's what Amanda G. said."

In regards to my lip piercing: "Don't kiss any magnets." 



And his friends are just like him too.

In regards to my keychain being heavy: 
Me: "It keeps me from losing them."
Dad's Friend: "well you would lose them pretty fast if you threw them in the ocean." 
Me: ".....Yes, yes I would."
