I was raised by my grandparents.

My grandfather was the cook most of the time, and he was always trying new recipies he found online: in years, I don't think I ever saw him cook the same meal twice.

Everytime he'd taste something new, he'd enthusiastically comment "it's different than usual!" (Rough translation from French "ça fait changment!")

To this day, I have no idea how good or how bad he thought any of those dishes were.

My gram used to quote MAD Magazine and Cracked with me all the time so that was pretty amazing. <3

It probably doesn't translate very well. But my grandfather always said something like "If you don't behave I'll put your head between your two ears" and us kids would always giggle and say that it was already the case. I often use that phrase now.

Those who run don't see it, those who love don't mind it.

"Aki szalad nem látja, aki szeret nem bánja."

Basically strangers don't matter, your flaws wouldn't stick out to them. And your loved ones will accept you as you are.

"An old Indian taught me that." (Idk where I learned this)

"And we're off like a turd-of-hurdles/smelly underwear." (Underway)

"Oh, I know it!" (I agree whole-heartedly)

"(That's) big noise." (Nonsense)

"Slicker than dog snot!" (The bee's knees)

"It's colder than Christmas". For reference I live in TX, so it doesn't take much for it to be colder than Christmas (it's not uncommon for Christmas to be in the 80s F).
