Things No Longer Heard

Today’s post is a post that Mrs. Crumly had ready to post, but for some reason she did not.

So I would like to share it with everyone today.

We are just getting in the grove again with this blog that Mrs. Crumly loved so much. So please hang in there with us for many more personal stories and fun post.

Thanks,  Russ Austin……………..

I found an old e-mail where someone had sent me a list of these sayings, orders or statements we no longer hear and, needless to say, I started thinking of my own list.

Quit slamming that screen door.

I guess you were raised in a jail where they close the door behind you.

Take your school clothes off — you can wear them another time before I have to do them up.

Go split some kindlin’ for use in the morning.

Fetch some firewood.  While you’re at it, bring in some stove wood and draw some water.

Go  milk the cow.  Corn also has to be shucked to feed her with.

Put your galoshes on before you walk to meet the school bus.

Be sure you fill the ice trays up after you empty them.

Where is the fly swatter?

Get the clothes in off the line.

It’s coming up a cloud, run get the dried fruit in before it gets wet.

I need a new brush broom — let’s go cut some saplin’s to make it with.

You can have the old Sears and Roebuck Catalog to cut out paper dolls.

Eat those vegetables; they will make you big and strong like your daddy.

Clean up your plate — there are children starving in China

Whistlin’ girls and crowin’ hens always come to some bad ends.

You need a purgative — go git the Black Draught

That dog is not coming in the house — I don’t care how cold it is out there — no dogs in the house.

You can walk to the store — it’ll give you some exercise.  Walkin’ ain’t crowded.

Quit crossing your eyes~  They will get hung that way.

Don’t you be hanging upside down — your liver will turn over.

Don’t you go off and get drown-ed – if you do, I’ll wear you out!

Just another country day with country living.
