On blocking the TV - You make a better door than a window.

On phony, goody goody’s - Butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth.

On secretive people/cats - They keep their own council.

On potentially spoiled food - When in doubt, throw it out.

On bad ideas - Let’s don’t and say we did.

On bad days - This too shall pass.

On too much make-up - Your eyes look like two burnt holes in a blanket.

On the line from White Stripes song Seven Nation Army “I’m going to Wichita” - Go on and go, I don’t care one way or the other.

Mom wasn’t a big White Stripes fan.
