Ryan, Aggravatin Casey

This is something my mom and her friends started saying when I was 2 or 3. If I complained to my mom about my brother, Ryan, she would say to Ryan, "Ryan, aggravatin Casey!" While this is undoubtedly unfunny to others, in my family and my friends this is a riot. Even thinking about it I crack up.

It comes from one of my Mom's friends, who also had a son and daughter. One time their family was on a road trip. The two kids, Shane and Shelly, were sitting in the backseat. Shane kept bothering Shelly, so Shelly told her mom to make Shane quit bothering her. Her mom, in a rush, yelled back at Shane, "Shane! Agrravatin Shelly!" Of course she meant to say, "Shane! Quit aggravatin Shelly!"
Stupid things like this happen and there is a phrase that is ingrained into our minds forever. My mom and her friends were relentless with these things.

I'll talk about the Hick-a-Nuts soon.
