Grandma-isms

My grandmother says some of the funniest things. I don't know where they come from, if it's stuff that used to get said all the time, whether it's from her eighty-something years in Texas, or what, but they are always just funny as anything and incredibly difficult to remember later.

I'm posting this immediately so I don't forget: "They don't keep enough bread around here to put in your eye."

If I catch any more of them, I'll post 'em.

My grandfather (Papaw) used to use the word "holp" for "helped". He'd saysomething like, "I holp him move." It's really cool some of the stuff you can pick up if you just talk to your grandparents and other older folks. They are vanishing jewels.
