Thank you el gato malo - nailed it. One thing I heard (once or twice) as a girl, after being disappointed or hurt was "don't trip over your lip."
I was raised by a single Mom and her folks. After a rare day trip to a local small town, we all got a piece of candy while there. Think "designer chocolate." This was a bit of a big deal, because money was tight. Well, after I got home, I took a bite, put it down on a napkin to save for later. I went back later - gone. Grandpa had eaten it, asked me what I was looking for..."this will teach you - don't trust anyone, not even me." But he said it laughing, not with malice. One of the best lessons ever.
Nana, What was your friends name?? I’m pretty sure it was be me!! LOL!! My Dad had a collection of classics directed at independence and self reliance... my now favorite which at the time was harsh but highly effective... he’d rub his thumb and index finger together and ask me “ do you know what this is? World’s smallest 🎻!” ❤️❤️❤️

The lip comeback is great! 🤣🤣🤣
I had a girlfriend who told me her parents would tell her a bird was going to come perch on her bottom lip when she’d pout growing up. Good times!

My dad. "The world's smallest violin, playing 'My Heart Bleeds for You.'"
I still tell people that every so often.
A lot of good basics no longer instilled... also “The Boy who cried Wolf” applies to our state of the nation... I don’t believe anyone!!!
That’s the way I learned the violin one as well. A classic!
Her name was Barbara. Which if that is yours would be quite the co-inky-dink! Lol
That's what my Grandma would tell me.
That's a good one, too.
Yes, I forgot that one. I always heard “don’t trip over your lower lip” Thanks, I am going to revive that one
