| Old Sayings
What old sayings have you picked up in your years in this world ???
My pop used to tell me all the time !!!
Dont look a gift horse in the mouth .
Which means if someone gives you something dont look to see how old it is ( animals are aged by their teeth )or if anything is wrong with it , just accept it for what it is. ( a gift )
Another and alot of people scew this one up ecspecially people on tv .
You've got a tough row to hoe , I've heard some folks say road to hoe which would be really tough .
If I'm not mistaken , this comes from hoeing cotton ( which I did as a child )

| My granddad use to say these all the time.
"Buy you books, send you to school & you don't learn a thing."
Just before eating dinner - "Bag your ears & cram it in."
He had some more if I can remember them....
