[PepeLePew]

When my mum said why I asked her why ,reply was a a dogs hind leg is Y and you can’t make it straight , I say it to my grandchildren get funny looks from them

My mum always replied with "Y's a crooked letter and Z's no better"

 

[PepeLePew]

When asking questions I got the reply of "What's that got to do with the price of eggs in China" and
'Eat your crusts, they''ll make your hair go curly' (still waiting for that to happen )
Asked my Dad once why a woman had a big stomach (she was pregnant) he told me that she swallowed a watermelon seed....was very young at the time and became extremely terrified of eating watermelon after that in case I accidentally ate a seed and that happened to me.
