Family sayings. You know, the things your mom or dad said to you that you find yourself saying to your children. I imagine everyone has at least one or two family sayings that are passed from generation to generation. Our first family saying was passed down to my two-year-old yesterday by my mom.
Rather than something sweet like, “I love you to the moon and back again” my parents, as a joke (of course), would say the following rhyme:
See my finger.
See my thumb.
See my fist.
You’d better run.
(My parents never actually punched me or hit me, so it’s funny).
Now I’ve got a two-year-old saying: “See my fist, see my fist” as he thrusts his fist into the air and then growls. The growl is his addition to the family saying.
It’s so great…
I can’t wait until he goes to Bible School tonight to teach all the other boys and girls our family saying.
