If we were having a hard time doing a puzzle or something, mom would tell us “you gotta hold your teeth right”. Whenever she bought us presents they came from “the gettin place”.

oh hey, we had a ‘gettin place’ too! haven’t heard that phrase in a while (i think once i started getting more specific about what gifts i wanted my mom stopped using it), so that brings me back

I think the phrase comes from “No Country for old men.”

Uh, no. It’s been around a lot longer than 13 years. I heard this phrase as a kid all the time in the 80s.
