Maybe she gets it from her mom. Annabelle said something very seriously to her sister today that made me laugh b/c it was close to the expression (I knew what she meant), but it was just a tad off. Ask Julie K. and my sister - I say them with the intent of getting the expression right, but somehow....I screw it up.
Real life examples:
Julie: Do you like these pants?
Stacey: Yeah....those oyster diggers?
Julie: Or clam diggers, ya mean??!!
(both of us laughing)
Julie: Let's just call them mollusk hunters.
(still laughing)
Stacey: Did you hear that story about a woman being speared by a mariner?!!
Julie: Or a marlin, ya mean??
Stacey: Dang it!! I knew it was the mascot of a MLB team - I just picked the wrong one!
(laughing)
So...here's Annabelle's: As Macy B was hogging the sprinkler, Annabelle declared, "You're not the only one in the world!!" I think that was her rendition of: it's not all about you!

mwaaaahhhhhaahahahah! what an awesome memory. dang, i miss you.
