“It’s only money”
Generally used after paying a large medical bill, or if we got in a fender bender. She isn’t a big spender, but she never put too much weight in money, as she viewed it as a tool, not her self-worth or identity.

Mother of 4 and we are close in age, my dad worked 14h days so she did all the housework herself.
She went back to work when we were older and apparently her co-workers tell us she also says it everytime she finishes something.

“Wait! This bit’s poisoned!”
Said every time she walked past me, while I was eating something; then promptly followed by her grabbing the “poisoned” bit of whatever I was eating and eating it herself.
