jhbren Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 These are funny, Andrea. My mother taught me #15, but her version was, "Just think about all the starving people in Armenia." That may date both of us. And # 25 - I here my words (which were my Mother's words) coming out of my children's mouths; DD2 says she HAS children just like her! Thanks for the chuckles.
