Just like Grandma used to say.....


So last night while working at the cafe, I used the expression "I'm all over it, like white on rice!" only to be asked to explain what that meant. That was fine until a little later when a patron dropped a fork and I announced company was coming, and again had to explain what THAT meant.

I'm starting to feel a little old around my co-workers.......

My fifth grade teacher Mrs. Daily used to say, “It’s gonna be Katy bar the door”. I still have no idea what that means.

Age is no excuse.
My students know this.

Your coworkers need to be old schooled.

Norma, I was feeling too lady like at the time, I did try to elaborate with "Like ugly on an Osborne".....
