So, we inherit lots of things from our parents and their parents. Hair color, height, if you have hair on your knuckles (or your head, or back...) and the list goes on and on. One thing I got from my elders were some great sayings. Some of those sayings were:
From my dad's dad (Pawpaw) - "I don't think I understand all I know about that"
Pawpaw - "I'll be" (drawn out "I'll")
Pawpaw - "What kind of deal is that" (thanks to my brother for reminding me of that one)
My mom's dad (Papa) - Mon Dieu ("French for My God")
and possibly my favorite:
From my dad's mom (Mawmaw) - "I'd rather owe you than cheat you out of it".
What sayings have you inherited?

Dude, you forgot a classic PawPaw line...
"What kind of deal is that?"
I actually use that from time to time.
Let me correct you....PaPa would say, "Mon Dieu. What that means??"
