ok, so today in the midst of a client consultation, the client said a few words that made no sense to me as she described her child's eating habits, then apologized, and said that it was a family phrase.....and she went on to use recognizable terms from then on.......i cannot quite recall exactly the phrase she used...only the notion that it was particular to her family.....and that i can appreciate....as we have numerous family phrases......some that require lots of explanation.....like
b-29nodamngood.......or young whippersnapper........or imgoingdowntownandiamnottakingmyhatoff........or meanmamma/meandaddy.....or i'm old.....youdon'tknowhowoldiam......to explain is fruitless.....really...because things one says at home to one's closest kin rarely stand up to public scrutiny........eventually i may change the title of this blog.....as i have grown tired of the moniker.......despite the humor surrounding it's inception.......i guess without actually being there to see the meanmamma/meandaddy dance that went along with the chant.......it just loses something in translation.........
