And he died twice…. Once when my mother wanted to get out of work (Nana was pissed when she found out) and once for real. My version of ☘ You know you're from an Irish family If; ☘ You have an uncle Paddy/Seamus/John, ☘ You have an aunty Nora/Mary/Kathleen, ☘ You add the words sure or well to the beginning of a sentence, ☘ You add the words anyway or at all, to the end of a sentence, ☘ E.g. well/sure I wouldn't know about that at all/anyway, ☘ You sometimes pronounce the word film as fillum, ☘ You can do a very convincing regional Irish accent. ☘ You still have a slight fear of wooden spoons, ☘ When something scares you, you say Jesus Mary and Joseph, ☘ You use the words feck and eejit, and put them together if you see a fecking eejit, ☘ You were told that an old manky pair of trousers, would be good for hacking about in, ☘ You understand the expression, "there's people dying now that have never died before". ☘ You were told a story about a situation with some relatives in Ireland, but you're not allowed to talk about it. ☘ You understand the expression, "that's a very watery looking sun". ☘ When someone says, "top of the morning to ya", in an awful Irish accent, you want to punch them in the face. ☘ When you see someone driving really fast you say, "I hope he's in heaven before the devil knows he's dead". ☘ Someone has lit a candle for you, ☘ You had to give something up for lent ☘ You were told you’d catch your death of cold if you go to bed with wet hair. ☘ When visitors arrived, they were given tea, food and whiskey, ☘ You understand that "I'll be with ya now in a minute!!" Is an acceptable sentence. ☘ You know that when you hear someone say, "Yeah I will Yeah." They most definitely won't. ☘ You've been told to "Make sure you've got clean pants on, in case you're hit by a bus". ☘ You're an expert at swearing. ☘ You've heard "come here now and let me hit ya" being said. ☘ You understand that people's names in Ireland can be Changed to completely different ones. ☘ You know how to pronounce Irish names like Siobhan and Niamh but there are some even you're not sure about. ☘ When you're late and in a rush, you've been told, "When God made time, he made enough for everyone". ☘ You've been told not to leave your coat on when you're inside, as you won't feel the benefit when you go outside. ☘ You've got cousins that still believe, that flat 7up cures everything. ☘ You're not fazed when you hear "Jesus! Mary, are you still here? I thought you went home hours ago". Even though they're standing right in front of Mary. ☘ You own or want to own a GAA top. ☘ You don't really get the whole insulting Gingers thing, as you've seen some real red haired beauties. ☘ You have to correct at least one American every year by telling them that it's St Patrick's or St Paddy's day, but never ever St Patty's day. ☘ You know that saying goodbye can take a very long time, bye, bye, bye, bye, yeah we'll speak soon, bye, bye, bye now, take care of yourself, bye, bye, bye. ☘☺☘
