Yeah that is the trouble with Texas, we have a saying for everything. Closer you get to the border we may have a story for every situation as well, half the time they do not even apply.

Thats why everything takes twice as long on a south texas ranch, tell a damn tumble weed a story if it will sit still long enough.

My old man could talk your leg off. And he was a country preacher to boot. So us kids got the practice sermon on the way to Fowler, Colorado, then we got the actual sermon, then the highlight reel on the way home. Not that it stuck.
He did have that Texas gene.

One from my Dad, always used as a warning shot across my bow when I wasn't doing what he wanted:
"you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink... but you can make him wish to hell he had!"

And one from my mother
"Don't make me stop this car!"

And from my grandmother
"You wanna cry? I'll give you something to cry about!"

Just to make the record clear, lest you get the impression they were child abusers, they are all gone now and I miss them terribly. They were all kind, loving people who never really followed up on any of their "threats".

My dad was an old farmer here in the pacific northwest & he used to say it was "raining harder than a cow peeing on a flat rock".

Whenever something breaks I always quote my dad that "it just needs a little duct tape & bailing wire and it will be as right as rain". Oddly enough, by the time I was old enough to remember we no longer had bailing wire, it was a polyester bailing twine.

I hope some people from other countriesnpost some. I heard a Russian saying but can't remember it. Those folks knew what hard times were.
My mom used to say You're gonna smell the patching. Meaning times were going to get rough.
Can't believe how much of this stuff I have heard which people are posting lol.
Got some more to post. Like a slow person: He would lose time falling out of a tree.
