More Weird Things My California Bar–Member Mother Says

None of your beeswax! (She says this a lot.)—None of your business.
What an onry face!—I'm mocking your frustration.
That's enough from the peanut gallery.—I didn't ask for your opinion.
This place looks like a hurricane hit it.—Our house is too messy.
I'm oooold and decrepit (at least since she was 32).—I'm frustrated with myself.
Boy, you're falling apart!—Your long list of aches and irritations sounds hypochondriac.
The girls said (something).—One of my two daughters said this, but I can't remember which one.
She's just a crotchety old lady. (Thanks Christa!)—(Um, I'm not really sure what it means.)

I am still trying to determine how you bring emboldened or italicized lettering into the comment section. Where did I go wrong?

After reading your clarification, it is likely that you hit those last couple of nails just on the head.

Of course you can be right. I have found that more often than not, I am wrong. This is actually preferable, as it lends to a better overall understanding.

Thanks for the article, I'll check it out soon.

My mom occasionally calls grumpy old people "crotchety." Which always makes for really, really awkward visuals in my head.

Also, I miss you! I've called you a few times lately but it just goes straight to voice mail. Is your cell phone gone forever?
