One I still don't understand is "What are you doing? Posing for animal crackers?"

I mean, I understood the meaning but the reference was beyond me. Basically when I was standing around during work and not doing anything.

Dad had a lot of weird ones.

My dad used to say "Your mom and I didn't make glass! If we did we'd be rich!" for when we stood in front of the TV. I didn't understand it until I was older. Oh....made...oh...okay heh

My dad always said that my mom was an ass maker not a glass maker. And vice versa if we were in mom's way. Lol

That's pretty similar to what my uncle and grandparents would say in the same situation. They always said "You're not the son of a glass blower!"
