Bridget-isms, etc.

• When I was little I thought Graham Crackers were called that because you always got them (with milk) from Grandma (ie, Gramma=Grammcrackers).
• I always thought the world "suitcase" was "soupcase" and always wondered why since you didn't carry around soup with it. Sometimes it still slips out!
• It took me forever to pronounce "spaghetti" correctly. I always said "basketti."
• Since I was the youngest, I had to sit next to Dad at the dinner table. He salted my plate before I even had any food on it. He also rapped my knuckles with his butter knife if I used my fingers.
• Being the youngest also meant I had the "privilege" of saying Grace. I think they actually just liked to hear me say it because I had my own version: "...and knees I give..." I never could figure that out about the knees! Fred says I also said "from my bounty," but I don't remember that.
  
• When I couldn't sleep I'd try to count my brothers and sisters--in the right order--instead of counting sheep. Worked every time!
