Saying We Grew Up On! (Mindset Change)

What are proverbs?

Proverbs are also known as sayings. Proverbs give some form of advice. Every Language and culture has them, and many proverbs exist in more than one language.

It is important not to miss any of the words in most proverbs because the meaning can be lost if even one word is changed or left out.

Our parents and grandparents have given us so much. They’ve passed down their recipes and their parenting tips, for starters.

But we’ve just realized they’ve  also passed down their vocabularies too. We have inherited their styles, their heirlooms, and more than a few of their favorite sayings as well.

And we’re beginning to understand what a treasure that truly is.

From adages and proverbs to their favorite Southern terms or phrase, these people sure do have a way with words.

Have you heard any of these classic phrases?

Surely you heard them eat an apple a day. Or perhaps they mentioned that “pretty is as pretty does.” Maybe you’ve heard that “still waters run deep.”

They have almost certainly exclaimed “Goodness gracious!” (And, of course, we have too.) We heard all of these adages growing up, and we couldn’t help but pick up a few ourselves.

However, we’re starting to think that these words are passed down to us like our hair color and height. They feel so right—they must be in our DNA. Give your parent or grandparent a call, and you’re sure to hear at least one of these sayings before you say goodbye.

Bring those old saying back!
