"You make my ass want to suck a lemon"

One of the reasons I cant wait to have children is so I can say some of the crazy things that my elders have said to me.

Think back to your childhood. Those hot summer days at your grandma house when you and your cousins were hot and mad that the pickle lady around the corner was out of pickles. Remember how much trouble you got into because you wouldn't shut up? It can't just be me.

I decided to share 3 quotes that were said to me as a child that I can't wait to share with my children.

1. "You make my ass want to suck a lemon" - Grandma Tru. Honestly, I still have no idea what this means. I think this was her way of saying we were getting on her nerves. Could you imagine being eight years old and hearing your grandma say that? I don't know if I laughed at that exact moment, but I am sure I did later.

2. "And that's a fact, Jack" - Grandma Mac. My grandmother is INFAMOUS for telling people this. This is how she signs off after she just got you together. I want to say it to people now but they would be so confused and have no idea what I'm talking about.

3. "Drink your spit." - Mom. Lady! I'm about to fall out and you want me to drink my spit. Doesn't that just sound nasty? "DRINK your spit." I laugh about it now but I was soooo heated when she told me that. LOL. I wonder what would have happened if I reported that?? You're right. Nothing but a serious "conversation." You know what I mean.

I have PLENTY more but just wanted to share a few. What are some quotes from your grandma that you will never forget?
