Pavlovian asides
I have the terrible habit of saying certain phrases aloud in certain situations. They are from old old cartoons and TV in the '60's and no one ever gets the reference. They just think I am a dotty old lady muttering to myself.

My favorites are:
On misunderstanding what someone said-"Moo, Moomoo moo, mooomoomoo, Moo!" "They WHUUT?!?"

During the occasion of a lapse in a student's or child's attention- "Pay attent- Ah say, pay attention, boy!" In a heavy mint julep accent.

On getting ready to leave-"Alright Clancy, take the bhoys and surrrround the house." (in a really bad Irish cop accent)

Upon acertaining someone's motives- "Sure you are, rabbit, sure you are."

In the case of being thwarted- "and your little dog, too!" OR "Want some fire, Scarecrow?"

If someone is starting to perform the exact wrong action- "Ack! Not the wed one,never push the WED one!"

When I can't figure out instructions- "We are gremlins, from the Kremlin," to the tune of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody.

On becoming frustrated with an idiot family member- "Oongambu bahguyea, oongambu bahguyea." in a chant.

In the aftermath of a major screwup on my part-"Fortunately, Ah keep mah featheahs numbahed fo' just such an uhmergency." also in a heavy mint julep accent.

Upon being satisfied- "I'm a happy miser." in a little helium voice.

You can pretty much gauge my mood and mental status by what cartoon I am quoting that day. All four of my brothers do this too, to various extents. I also can't watch anyone leaving until they are out of sight for fear they won't return.

"Yaah, he is completely cured. But don't mention his appearance, he might have a rrrrelapse."
