Happy Monday, 10 superstitions, wives' tales and f Happy Monday, 10 superstitions, wives' tales and family expressions...that's the prompt for October's 10 on the 10th blog post.  I grew up on a healthy diet of my mom's Ozark Mountains colloquialisms and could probably, should probably dedicate a post just to those.  Never realized until I went to college how much of my own speech reflected hers.
