I find language & its connotations endlessly interesting but in the current language policing climate, ppl often assume I'm doing that. No.

My mother used to say to me.. "Never assume it makes a hat out of you.' And to this day I have no idea what she meant.

Hehehe. I love the way expressions distort. 'I'm all thumbs' has become 'I'm all fingers & thumbs' - that's normal dexterity!
-
'I spill my tea, oh silly me.' Sorry put me in mind of the song. And you are so right and had never considered that before !!

Maybe 'Assuming make an 'ass' out of 'u' & 'me' is becoming ur mother's phrase & future historians will puzzle over it!
-
haha.. I was just being silly Helen. But the original expression was odd. I always thought - no just one ass here :)
-
Oh damn it! She didn't say that? I'd stored that in my 'strange sayings' collections. *sulks*

I am thoroughly embarrassed now and ashamed ;) I shall take up the expression as punishment!
-
Excellent! We can make this happen! ;-)
