Big corner, fuzzy blanket...

Do you have any "sayings" in your household that no one else on the planet would understand? 

For instance, when I was growing up, we were eating shell macaroni and calling it something else to bug my brother.  (Don't remember what we were calling it, but it was bothersome.)  My mom finally said, "Call it properly!"  So we did.  Every time we wanted shell macaroni, we asked for properly.  Shell macaroni is still "properly" to me. 

Every time we are going to watch a family movie, someone yells, "Big corner, fuzzy blanket!"  The first person to holler that, gets the prime movie-watching spot; the corner of our sectional, with the biggest, fuzziest blanket we have.  The next luckiest person gets "Big chair, less fuzzy blanket!"  And then the two who are left just fend for themselves.

  1. When Brent was smaller he always called Parmesan "green cheese", because it came in the green container.

    To this day he asks for "green cheese."
