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!

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 🎻!” ❤️❤️❤️

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!
