Put jam in my ears, and call me sticky!
That has got to be one of my favorite sayings, a real attention getter. I don’t remember where I heard it, but much like you are now…I remember thinking WTF while snickering. Back when Paw-Paw (my grandfather on moms side) was in the hospital, he had a saying that I think he actually coined. What he said was perfect and should be made into a country song. I asked him “How you doing Paw-Paw?” to which he replied “Oh, I’m in pretty good shape for the shape I’m in.” He was always positive and seemed to be happy. We would go out to eat and when the waitress would ask if would like dessert he would say something to the affect of “I guess I could rub it on me..” Thinking back to those days always brings a smile to my face because he was a character for sure. It is those influences that have helped make me who I am today. For that I am grateful!
