Thank you. My father had a wonderful dry wit. I miss him and his observations, both.

My mom always used to say "sorry Charlie"

God I hated that, however, I have caught myself saying it to my kids more than once.

Another one of my mom's mom-isms was "because I said so". That is one that I happily use on my kids.
