Miss K having a conversation with her dad.
Miss K: I've been thinking. I don't like saying, "Oh my gosh!" because it sounds

Dad: My grandma used to say the word "fudge".

Mr. J having a conversation with me on his way home from school.
Me: Hey look, there's a Preying Mantis. Don't step on it.

Mr. J: All of the Mantises are good?
Me: Yes
Mr. J: Even the ones that aren't praying?

ReplyDeleteThanks--I needed a smile.
What great conversations! Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteK- My Grandpa always said "Goodnight Nurse!" Good memories. Thanks for stirring them up.
Natalie, Somehow the 'nurse' part never made it. It was always, "GOODNIGHT!" I never knew nurse was a part of it.... then again..... I never knew that 'sonuva' had an ending either until I was much older....
