Screaming, running, jumping, hopping, etc etc in restaurants & libraries no less!

Agreed My dad taught my brother and I to sit still and use dinning etiquette at restaurants.

....Turn it over to a higher power....

It's a figurative way of saying that it's better to turn things over to a power greater than yourself and trust that things will work out (somehow).

Mostly true, I believe.

Me and my sister would get the "LOOK" if we misbehaved, that's all it took!

"A Catch-22".................



A situation where one thing must happen in order to cause another thing to happen, but because the first thing does not happen the second thing cannot happen

"Great Things Come In Small Packages"

This proverb to say that the size of things doesn't always indicate their quality, or importance!

Hop Over A Nickle To Pick Up A Penny.............“Don’t step over dollars to pick up a dime.” .............."Tripping Over Dollars, Picking Up Pennies".....


The gist is you're passing up a more valuable item and coming away with something of lesser of value.

homoe??? What about the long held social notion that if you find a penny lying in your path of walking or the penny suddenly appears somewhere nearby and that it's a penny from heaven, that an Angel placed it near you to find???

.....Pennies From Heaven......

The social notion that an Angel left a penny for you to find, that someone special wants you to know that they've got a message for you....that they're thinking of you or see you from heaven.

Oh, I've not heard that! I have heard that finding a penny brings good luck tho.


The hop over a nickel to pick up a penny was one of my mothers favorite sayings.

You know, if an angel wants to get my attention and impress me, maybe they should toss down a hundred!
