When someone’s standing in front of the TV, do you shout, “Move over!” or something more creative? How about “Your daddy weren’t no glassmaker,” or “You make a better door than a window.” This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Better Door than a Window”
On our Facebook page, Beth Snyder asked what people say when you have somebody who’s in the way, like you’re trying to watch TV and somebody’s in the way.
She said when she was growing up, her mom would say, “Your daddy weren’t no glassmaker.”
Oh, right, right.
You’re not transparent.
And her friend’s parents would say, “You make a better door than a window.”
Did your family have anything else like that?
No, it was just down in front.
Down in front, yeah.
Or chop down that tree or something.
Move.
Oh, chop down that tree?
Well, some comment about tall timber usually.
I never heard that one.
What did your family say?
