[Things our parents used to say]

I was on a bus once and my toddler daughter was rattling away, a hundred to the dozen, and a lady in front turned round and smiled at me like 'doesn't she go on' and I said you'll have to excuse her, she's got verbal diarrhea, and the lady gave a sympathetic look and said 'oh sorry'. I still smile about that.
