Wit and repartee run in the O’Grady family and when my cousin Helen sat down with her mum and documented a slew of great family sayings, she added this ‘cracker’ of her own!  It speaks for itself and means that only the wise spend their money on worthwhile things (or fools never have an emergency fund!).

Author : Anna O’Grady (née Towey), my aunt

Anna grew up in Glasnevin, Dublin, but spent many happy summers visiting her aunts in Mullingar and going to dances in the County Hall — where she met her future husband, Paul a farmer from Mullingar. She adapted to farm life like a duck to water and is well known for her favourite sayings, which she often quotes whenever she thinks her children, grandchildren, nieces, or nephews need a bit of gentle (or sometimes not-so-gentle) advice!

This expression is to describe someone who was mean with money. It made more sense back in the day!

The above expression was a favourite to describe someone who can’t make up their mind.

Author : Paddy Egan, my late uncle

Paddy was well travelled having worked in Australia for some years. He came home to Ireland with the intention of returning to Australia but met and fell in love with Bea Towey and decided to settle into farming life. He was a very intelligent man and very witty – offering the right words at the right time in any situation.

Paddy would say this when he encountered someone without much life experience voicing a judgemental opinion.

This is one of those funny predictions she would use – when knife falls to the floor, you can expect someone to come knocking on the door.

This expression was a favourite of hers when she would forget something like her purse or her glasses.
