Martha's new venacular

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to keep a running list of funny things Mom (Martha) says. Just as a child never out lives the cute things they say as toddlers, I want to record and remember her words.

 So far this is my personal favorite quote of Mom (Martha)

1. On Dec 23rd Betty and her husband Neil stopped by to exchange Christmas presents. As sundowner's syndrome began to kick in at 3 p.m, Mom began talking loudly and with passion. She mainly babbles nonsensical words and phrases she makes up along the way, but there are times when she comes out clear as day. Upon going into one of her spurts, she turned to her left with conviction and vigor and told Neil,
"I'll slap the Christ right out of you!"
Needless to say, she had us in utter shock and hysterical laughter

2. When Mom (Martha) is puzzled about something one of her favorite phrases is
    "What the how much is that?"

3. Again, there are times when Mom (Martha) cannot articulate how she feels or the right words to say, leaving her phrases sounding as something you would find in a Dr. Suess book. Such as:
    "Please don't let them clip my sweet boats"

I hope you enjoyed the first act of the this play of Mom's. I'm sure as the days go on, there will be many more.
