I like my dad's --' that went over like a lead fart" ---I think he meant to say "that went over like a lead balloon OR "that went over like a fart in church" but combined them. Now my husband and I say it 'his way" haha
There is also his "I know you like a glove" -said to my Mom during a heated argument years ago. (I know you like the back of my hand + fits like a glove)
We are not sure if he is doing this on purpose or just gets confused.
For my girl we often say (OFTEN!!!)--"It's different ---but that's OK." when we are doing something that is not in her normal routine. And , when we are going to run errands I say we are going on a "slow adventure" which means we do not need to rush or worry just relax and take it easy (she has anxiety) Not really quotes, per se but we say them soften that they have become kinda oour mantra. Those and --'It's in God's Hands" --for when she is worrying (OFTEN) about things we cannot control.
Fun thread, jujubean! Gets the brain thinking! :0)

I love one I saw today, I have two new motto's now.. 1. You cant stop the waves but you can learn how to surf 2. Sarcasm. because beating the shit out of someone is illegal!!! (my dry wit loves this)
