Sometimes, I’ve just had enough! When the children are hovering around my feet and I need space to breathe I say, ‘Go catch a chicken!’ My children know this means they need to go and find something to do. It’s great to make up family sayings. Saying, ‘Go find something to do,’ doesn’t sounds half as inspiring as, ‘Go catch a chicken.’
Do you have any family sayings?

Funny!! We always say when we get a good car park….It’s a blue ribbon! ‘Clear to port,’ when driving; or “standing by,’ when we are waiting for something. All compliments of my husband who is the King of sayings.
I yove you! – stems from my niece who calls me Aunty Yoren! Its not really a saying but ppl dont have a clue what we’re on about!! except family!
Great idea! As we actually have 2 pet chickens…..I’ll need to dream up another fun alternative.
