Better Than Rubber/Glue #1LinerWeds

Posted on January 15, 2020 by Marian Allen

The eldest of Charlie’s three sisters (he’s the first-born) was and is the feistiest person I know. Anything she tackles, she not only succeeds in doing, but succeeds superlatively.

That includes childhood back-talk.

Sometimes their father would call them “half-raised heathens”.

What did this sister reply? You know it wasn’t, “Sorry, Daddy.”

No, she said:

Well, you’re the one
who raised us!

The phrase, “knocked into next Sunday” comes to mind. LOL
Still, she gets points for style and, if she were Daddy’s little girl, she probably got away with it, anyway.

Cheers,

Mitch

  She was Daddy’s little girl BECAUSE she back-talked him. Some bullies are like that.

That’s one I would use as well. And, made sure my kids could not have that in their arsenal!
