"GET YOUR BRITCHES ON!"

I have an Aunt named Josephine. As a child, I was fascinated by her - and still am. Aunt Josephine wore petal-pushers (we now call them "capris") and tennie shoes (we now call those "disposable Walmart sneakers") and she could light up my life, just by showing up. I LOVE something she used to say and I have adopted it as one of my own sayings. She used to come to our house and would want us to go someplace with her. When my Mama would balk, Aunt Josephine would say, "Get your britches on and let's go!" Oh - how I loved to hear that! It meant we were going somewhere because, WHO in the world, could resist that order?

Now, years later, when I am trying to get a friend to do something with me and they say some nonsense like, "Oh - I couldn't do that," I simply repeat my Aunt's command: "GET YOUR BRITCHES ON AND LET'S GO!"

Works every time.
