Edna-isms, Part Twenty-six

Here's another installment of Edna-isms.

1.  "Be a good girl."  This is what my mother ALWAYS said to me when I was taking my leave.  

2.  "Deader than a door nail."  I believe the commonly used phrase is "dead as a door nail" but for Mom, it was always "deader."

3. "Rattledy-bang."  Mom used this to mean "all of a sudden."  To use it in a sentence: "They left rattledy bang for the ball game" or "There it was, rattledy bang."
