I've heard that saying, too, Greene. It's interesting that we are supposed to be a patriarchal society, yet the son being closer to the wife's family is more an indication of a matriarchal society.

Chatty,
Never heard "butter my buns and call me a biscuit" saying though.
Cute!

Come to think of it, Larry doesn't visit his mom very much at all...and she lives about 10 minutes away. She visits us more than we visit her.
Larry's sister, who lives on the same street as their mom, visits her a lot. Maybe it's just a gender thing afterall. I don't know.

My son got the weekends mixed up. It's this coming Saturday that he is helping his brother move. I'm curious how he will greet us when he drops our granddaughter off at our house.
Obviously he has no guilt feelings. I don't think he has any feelings. Oh well.
Yonah, I have to admit; I looked up matriarchal societies. Wikipedia says: "...the leading role is taken by the women and especially by the mothers of a community." There is alot more..very interesitng reading!
And patriarchal societies a social system in which the father or eldest male is head of the household, having authority over women and children.
Thanks Yonuh. I learned something new today. smile
