When my mother used to see a school-days friend of hers she'd describe Katherine as a "Tall drink of water".

I will never forget what my Mom said when she was diagnosed with cancer: "If this is my road to heaven, I am taking it. And you are not allowed to question God!"

My mother would NOT serve a ham on Easter. She once said: "You don't serve ham on Easter! Jesus was Jewish!"

My father moved us so many times I can remember years by the house we lived in. Newton, NJ, 1968 or '69, I was maybe 7 and kids say silly things, especially if he's trying out new words. Mom brought home some great snack like Burry Fudgetown cookies and I said: "I adore those!"
She whirled around on me and snapped: "The only thing you 'adore' is God!" I never used the word again.
50 years later I love her for the lesson she taught me. She was always right.

Last night SOME LIKE IT HOT was on TCM and I watched it again. It's seriously implausible, stupid and funny. I LOVE IT! And I realized this was the movie one of our Momisms came from. JACK LEMMON says it to TONY CURTIS. "Not tonight, Josephine!"

"If you don't stop crying, I'll give you something to cry about." (I stopped crying when I was around 40).

"This isn't a restaurant!"

"Christmas is just around the corner!" (She would start saying this right after Thanksgiving).

"She doesn't have a pot to p**s in or a window to throw it out."
