Just thought of a couple more- when your children are in the Why stage: (one from each of our respective moms)
Because of the flies
Because ice cream has no bones

Bless your heart!

"You sweet ol thang you!"

we have hundreds of them, most related to shows Mom has watched way too often so we know exactly what we're referencing and can laugh about it.

two we've been using a lot lately are "Yo!" and "Welcome!" yo is our "God bless you!" when either of us sneeze. Welcome is a reference to a t.v. show where the dorky guy is being pushed forward to meet a new nice looking neighbor and he can't think of anything else to say other than that. it just fits too well most of the time with our own dorkynesses here and we say it with the whole expression and accent to make it fit even better.

from My Big Fat Greek Wedding (first spelled Weeding ) the lines in the beginning where her dad tells her she's looking too old and that she should get married... just cracks us up all the time. we're simple that ways.

My dad used to say “better than a sharp stick in the eye”. I thought it was weird 😂

My brother would say that too

we use that one a lot here. it's a more colorful way of saying, "Things could be worse."

having had sharp sticks almost get me in the eye several times it's not something i'd ever actually want to experience. there is something about my being where glasses make my face seem smaller and more behind where it actually is in terms of my vision so it isn't unusual for me to open the microwave and have it hit my glasses or to have a branch come pretty close to my eyes. i don't like this, but it does happen. it's something that i really should work at retraining myself about because today when mowing just a few minutes ago a branch from a bush was close like that too and i really do want to keep my eyes unpokethed...
