Kids are still saying them. 

Some favorites of Jeanie's and mine:

Granddaughter Tobey @ 2- "I be back"- when leaving the room.  "I back!" upon her grand return.

Granddaughter Ida @ 1- "I Gogus !"- when told she is a cutie.

Son, Jeff @ 2- when wrestling with dad on the family room floor- Dad would put him in a 'hold' and grab a smooch- "Smoochin' fightin'- Never heard of it! "

Sharon's grandson Cory@ 3-  upon his  return to the adults in his Grandma and Grandpa's  basement- "Here comes Cory!"

Son Jeff @ 3 when returning to Jeanie and me at our car from the New Boston Little League diamond and asked about Jay's whereabouts-  "Aw, he's down ther in that digout, shovel out, or sumpin' like that."

Morgan @ 5- when Jeanie asked about what's for dinner- " I don't like Ida Scout (escalloped) potatoes."

Son Jay @ 3- in Lexington when friend Ronnie was about to park and another guy grabs the spot- yells out  at the big brute- "Hey!  Get out of there.  That's our spot!"  Ronnie just gunned his big Crown Chrysler out of there.

Our teacher- neighbor of Een Park- Ford Newberry kept these kind of student or parent responses- Ford wrote a note for a parent to Please give Johnny a bath- He smells!  He received back:  "Don't small him- Larn him!"

I wish somebody would add theirs to these few in comments.  Of course old people Jeanie and Sam repeat these many times to our friends and acquaintanceas.  We all have some gems from the smaller set.
