Silly things you heard as a kid

My grandma would flip out if we just opened the microwave before shutting it off. Said we would get cooked.

My mom told my younger brother and his friend they could catch Snipe if one stood at one end of the corn row with a pillow case and the other chased them from the other end because they wouldn't cross the corn row. They never caught one.
 
My grandpa was a foreman. When some asked him what time it was, he'd reply "are you taking medicine?" When they replied no, he'd say "Then I'll let you know when it's lunch time, and when it's quittin time!" After he passed, I heard many guys tell that same story with a grin on their face and a tear in their eye.
 
My grandpa never talks much about his service in Korea, but the one thing he will say:

“I wasn’t running, but I was passing guys that were.”
