You wouldn't want to hear the "sayings" I was raised with--they were of the helpless and hopeless variety like, "Ya can't fight city hall." Or, "Do as I say, not as I do." "Children are to be seen and not heard." And those were the least noxious ones. But, there was one cute one that I liked and I only heard it once. My uncle came over and my mother offered him coffee and a slice of apple pie. He asked if she had any cheddar cheese to melt on top of the pie. My mother said no as our family was of the a la mode school. I wrinkled my nose and said, "Cheese on pie? ICK!" To which my uncle smiled and replied, "Apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze." Finally, a saying that was about kissing and squeezing and it even rhymed! It was the only one I ever liked.

Awww, I'm so sorry, Carol. You may have all of mine you want. Then I want you to stand in front of a mirror and say them LOUDLY and mean every one of them. I treat my friends right.

BTW, I like the Apple Pie one! Cute as the dickens!
