Do Not Ask Why I Know This; I Do Not Know Myself. - Tumblr Posts

I love making up phrases.
Like no one says “don’t baby bathwater it!” except for me. All I’m saying is that you should be careful not to reverse your actions and throw away the thing you meant to keep.
But i drop “baby bathwatering” in conversation so often that i think my friends have just accept that that is something i do. Like i explained it the first couple times and now no one asks what the fuck i mean when i say baby bathwater.

for reference it comes from the phrase ‘don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater’
which i believe was like. plague era shit?? bc of how they did baths
the baby was the last to bathe and thus when getting rid of the water it was not uncommon for mothers to forget their babies.
do not ask why i know this; i do not know myself.
