You are so right about us having sayings and mannerisms we get from our parents. Since I've gotten older I've begun to realize just how many of those I automatically use!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17738727252267659979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275748724238579274.post-31511099127766246172022-03-31T14:23:19.241-05:002022-03-31T14:23:19.241-05:00I thought I had commented on this post but it must...I thought I had commented on this post but it must have been one of those days when my good intentions were not followed up with action! I had wanted to say your mother looked like such a kind person and was very pretty too. What lovely photos of her! You're so right about the little things being what we remember most. Often those things include our own sayings and mannerisms (whether we like it or not) which we have absorbed from them. Nice post, Bonnie. I'm glad you have good memories of your mother. It must have been very hard to lose her when you were still quite young.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275748724238579274.post-7769852015746194942022-03-24T18:05:16.898-05:002022-03-24T18:05:16.898-05:00Thank you Joey.

I learned it from my mother just like everyone else. Simone is right and Henny Penny is also right. Here is the complete song, and I'm doing this from memory without referring to anything online:<br /><br />"Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey<br />A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?<br /><br />Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey<br />A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?<br /><br />If the words sound queer and funny to your ear,<br />A little bit jumbled and jivey,<br />Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats<br />And litle lambs eat ivy."<br /><br />Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey<br />A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?<br /><br />Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey<br />A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?"<br /><br />And to quote the heading of your blog, Bonnie, yes, it seems like only yeaterday.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275748724238579274.post-74739617487857857842022-03-04T13:34:24.236-06:002022-03-04T13:34:24.236-06:00What a beautiful memorial for Mother!
