- (continued from previous page)you break the bowl?
When her husband came in at dinner-time she was still saying "Lassie how did you break the bowl?" When he came in at supper-time she was still saying "Lassie how did you break that bowl?"Her husband went to the shelf where the other bowl was, took it town, and with his full strength, hopped it off the floor and said "Now; there's the way Lassie broke the bowl" This became a kind of a proverb, if somebody was saying something over and over again somebody would say "Lassie how did you break the bowl?" - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
