Mine only said one thing. “Why don’t y’all call or come visit more often?” It was never enough.

She was mean to my dad when he was alive wicked witch of Cedar Creek!

My MeMe used sing this to us

Good Gawd boy, you aint got the sense God gave a goose

Make haste (Hurry up)

I'll give you something to cry about (as she's reaching behind the door for that switch with my name on it)

Time for meetin'. (we're going to church)

Mine would say (Go get me a peach tree switch) You know what happened when I got back.

My grandmother was German. She taught high school in Chicago, coached the men's basketball team, and ran a neighborhood store. The only sayings I remember were racist and won't repeat them.

I’m suh mad I could cuss a blue streak.

It’s a shame most of the things Sawhorse’s grandmother has said can’t be repeated here. She’s quite the character.

Yep my grandma was %100 Czech and if you came back with a switch that was too thick, she would go get a thinner one and whip you twice as bad on the back of the legs.

Go out there and break me off a switch . . . a good one !

she would say " go have a seat on the davenport, there is candy in the dish by it..." apparently there was a furniture company back in her childhood that made couches so that was what she called it...
