Things My Parents Say ...

"Gravity."
The reason, according to my father, anything happened. For instance, why my brother was late or why my father is so weird to why my favorite TV show is not airing or why I can't find my book.

"What goes around comes around."
My mother's favorite belief.

"It's nice to be nice to the nice."
My father's response, from M*A*S*H, to anyone whoever uses the word "nice" in a sentence, whether the response is relevant or not.

"Hello, boys."
My mother's favorite greeting a room full of girls. I don't know why.

"When I was a kid, we had to walk all the way over to the TV to change the channel."
My favorite of my father's "When *I* was a kid" stories.
