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."
