  Things we say and what do they mean REALLY

My son has a fascination with sayings and in particular the things his old man dad says.

Like:

"That does not cut the mustard"

and

"Kill two birds with one stone"

The first refers to mustard craftsmen's apprentice chore of keep a sharp knife available at all times for the Master to cut the mustard crust in the barrel, the remark he would make if the knife was dull.

The second one on the birds, I have not known anyone able to kill even one bird with any number of stones.. so I guess it means achievement of the impossible....

My son is away at college now, be home soon and look forward to his observations of things I others say that cause him to figure out what it really meant at the start of its use....

Harvey it is so good to see your post. That was something my grandfather often used.

"Been down so long it looks like up to me."

A couple more from my grandparents first about young lady I was dating...

"She is too sweet to be wholesome !"

"Sing before Breakfast Cry before dinner"
