Bless You!

So the other day my friend sneezed and of course I went BLESS YOU! And like any good story, I recalled an anecdotal that my friend had shared with me regarding her little sister and how she remembered how to not say "Gesundheit!"

When she was very young they visited their grandmother often, who I take it was German. Not long after learning the phrase 'gesundheit' as young as they were they would repeat it. No harm done.

Well, the younger sibling took the phrase 'bless you' in German to heart and, as 4 year olds go, sometimes they don't quite understand or fully comprehend what they hear, and they'll still take it to heart. At the family function her little sister said to the grandmother after she sneezed, loud enough for all to hear:  

"Your Bra's On Tight!" 


 I wonder if she's still the talk of the party!
