Things my Grandaddy said...

It’s hard to keep a blanket on the naked truth.

Country folks laugh when you laugh, cry when you cry, know when you’re sick, and care when you die.

Hoot owls and bankers sleep with one eye open.

It don’t take a very big man to carry a grudge.

Man is the only critter who feels the need to label things as flowers or weeds.

You can’t unsay a cruel thing.

My young son ran to me, crying. “Daddy, I stubbed my toe,” he sobbed. “Let me kiss it and make it better,” I said. “Which toe was it?” “The one that has no roast beef.” Gary Neal

My young son declared, “When I grow up, I’m going to marry you, Mommy.” “You can’t marry your own mother,” said his older sister. “Then I’ll marry you.” “You can’t marry me either.” He looked confused, so I explained, “You can’t marry someone in your own family.” “You mean I have to marry a total stranger?!” he cried.

My 6 year old son asked, “Dad, can we get a cat?” Me: “Your Mom is allergic to cats, so no.” My Son: “When Mom dies can we get a cat?” Me: “Sure.”” This morning, my wife told my 3-year-old daughter that owls were nocturnal. My daughter responded, “Mom, owls are not turtles.”

My 4-year-old is currently singing a song he made up himself. He only has a chorus that goes “You can’t soooooolve Mississippi’s problems.”

A few months back, my wife showed a picture of herself to our 3-year-old daughter. In the picture, my wife is about 7 years old. “Do you know who this is?” Daughter: (gasps) “That’s me when I’m bigger!”

What our advertisers are saying... Congratulations POSTCARDS

Magazine

It has been my pleasure to work with Karen Altom and the Postcards team since day one. I have returned year after year, and advertise in both the Piney Woods Edition and the Lake Conroe Edition, for two reasons: first, it produces a great return on investment and is a quality product. Second, they provide a topnotch, professional staff dedicated to helping my business be as successful as possible. When 10% of new customers let us know they came to visit as a direct result of our ad, the ad has paid for itself and we have increased our customer base!

(investment/not an expense)…..win/win for everyone!
