SAYING

MY GRANDMOTHER ALWAYS SAID, "I'D TRADE WITH THE DEVIL IF HE
HAD WHAT I WANTED."

Submitter comment: MARGARET PREFACED ALL HER GRANDMOTHER DYER'S SAYINGS THIS
WAY--HER GRANDMOTHER WAS A CHARACTER. WHEN SOMEONE SAID,
"WELL, I DON'T THINK I'LL GO TO THAT STORE," HER GRANDMOTHER
WOULD RETORT WITH THIS SAYING.
