I've just started inventing nonsense-but-folksy-sounding things to say to my kids when they have problems, like "you can't crush garlic with good intentions"
@rooster be sure to introduce it "you know what they say"

@acdw @rooster You know what they say...

Them boys is like two cows in a holler.

An oak tree's got nothin' but time.

When the dog's howlin', the cat plays a fiddle.

New truck's got four wheels, same as the old truck.

A log saw in winter's twice worth a hayseed in summer.

Leaky roof don't mind the sunshine.

Man's got no worry but Abe.

@Legit_Spaghetti @acdw @rooster this is out of control! You can't just go homespinning like that ... this is dangerous.
@i_give_u_worms @acdw @rooster Well I say, I say, I say, you best listen if the chickens cluck afore the rooster, y'hear!
