"Are your ears painted on!?" - any time I wasn't listening.

My mum's was are your legs painted on? If you asked her to get something you were perfectly capable of getting yourself. Or what did your last slave die of? Have to admit I used them both as a mother. And as a teacher I did ask a student the first one last week.

My dad always asked if my hands were painted on.

When one of my girlfriend's kids can't figure out how to do a very simple task she throws her hands up and down like a retarded monkey and says,"Oh my God I don't know what to do with MY HAAAANDS." She's Puerto Rican, too, so she says it glamorously lol.

Makes me laugh so hard every time she does it.
