The Things They Said by Idgie's Heartsong

I don't know about your family, but growing up I remember my parents and their friends using a lot of terms and funny sayings that I just didn't hear at my friend's houses, on TV or the radio. Even as a child, I had a love of words, so noticed and took mental notes of the most noteworthy. I also grew up in a very culturally diverse neighborhood, so was blessed to hear "words" in all their glorious perspectives! LOL! My Irish Catholic Stepfather leads my list of memory worthy quotes, with such wonders as "I Hope to Kiss a Duck", Which generally meant he agreed with whatever was being said with emphasis, while "Oh, For Crying in the Beer" meant he was disappointed with an outcome...or worse yet, you! Daddy never used real cuss words, but he had a way of getting the point across and Mom would call him out on phrases such as, "I Don't Give a Whippty Dip!" - Mom: "I know that really means you don't give a shi*!" LOL! Now when Daddy really thought something did not live up to it's hype, it was BALDERDASH!!!, said with such rousing authority that at times it would cause you to jump out of your skin! I could go on and on about the things I heard throughout my childhood, but it is your turn. You may find some inspiration from the word art I have provided. I Designed This Kit to Help You Document the Things YOUR Family Said...Those Special Sayings That Stir Memories and Bring Your Heart Back Home...
