You're Eyes Got Bigger Than Your Belly! 😃

 

This was said if you put way too much food on your plate that you couldn't eat.

@QVCkitty1 @cheriere  I've heard, "Not my circus,  Not my monkey".

 

 I'll add, "Men are like busses, one comes along , every ten minutes.

 

 You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

 

  You can't fix stupid.

 

   Pretty is as pretty does.

 

   A stitch in time, saves nine.

 

   When I would complain about a dinner that I disliked, (like liver), my mother would say "Poor starving children would love to have that dinner".  I would say, "Well, give it to them."

 

   Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

 

  My mother had a plethora of these sayings.

Stop & Smell The Roses has been with me since I was a kid.

My dad said that to me. I told him I didn't want to stop & smell the roses. LOL!!!

My parents would call us to get us for school once and if that didn't work they would tell us to "shake a leg." And my dad's favorite saying on Sunday when we were getting ready for church and not moving as fast as he would like was "time marches on."

Cornfields have big ears.🥰 My dear grandmother would say that when us kiddies were in earshot of sensitive adult conversation.😁

 

A dog that is bringing a bone, is carrying a bone! ❤

 

Call me what you want, but don't call me late to dinner.❤

 

I'll be hornswoggled.❤
