I can figure out what "sticky beak" means.... but, "neb nose"? Not so much!!! In the understanding department! LoL..<br />That's fine, my kids think that some of the words I use.... I make them up! Off hand I can't think of any at all.... but it's what you grew up with! Oh... how about this one.... "snicklefritz"! Basically it's an endearing term like, cutie pie or sweetie. My dad used to use it a lot. And your picture of the girls is darling! You need to make sure and make a copy for the mom of the other little girl. Always nice to see things like that... especially when your kid is really being a stinker! Guess that's another one! A bother or when they try your patience! LoL... nothing like trying to talk English hmmm?Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-74810757498592824152010-10-08T22:20:22.415+11:002010-10-08T22:20:22.415+11:00In the Pittsburgh, PA, area, there is a phrase &qu...In the Pittsburgh, PA, area, there is a phrase "neb nose."
