That ‘foot sugar’ phrase is more precious than words! It beats ‘toe jam’ anyday!

My mother will be thrilled…and now I’m less crazy for using the same word to my children over and over lately. With all of the snow and cold here in Wisconsin our house is fetzen crazy trying to pass time creatively! -35 degrees tonight…wish us luck!

I thought that was a common phrase. Foot sugar is new to me though, I might have to start using it. :) :)

Another thing that we say here is slop-pot for when the kids are in kissing moods!! (my fave kind of mood!!)

I’m not sure if they originate from here, but they are common.

Fetzen is a German word. Some people would say “Papierfetzen”, some just say “Fetzen” but it definately is a word that we use here in Germany for little pieces of paper on the floor from art projects.

As for the story: very cute. I need to ask my Texan hostparents if they ever heard of foot sugar.

And she calls little pieces of paper on the floor from art projects “fetzens.” She swears it’s German but every German person I know says there is no such word. I guess I need a bilingual decoder! :)

I grew up saying “fuss pot” and my husband always looks at me like I’m crazy when I say it.
