What are your family's inside jokes?

The other day, my mom was putting my daughter into her infant seat and she said to her, "Back in bowl," in a vaguely Indian accent.

I burst out laughing, and then immediately realized that, other than my sister, almost no one on the planet would've gotten that joke.

My mom was referring to an '80s movie called "All of Me," in which Steve Martin and Lilly Tomlin exchanged bodies for some reason. Wikipedia reminded me that there was a part of the movie in which some holy man used a mystical bowl to get them to switch back, or something. My mom, my sister and I saw this movie in 1984 and were particularly amused by the line, "Put Edwina back in bowl."

That fact that my mom busted that out that line 25 years later is even funnier.

Same goes for a story my parents tell me about the time they called a beachwear store and asked the clerk if they sell tank suits (I'm guessing that's what people called bathing suits back in the day). The clerk apparently misheard my mom and replied, "You're welcome." To this day, both of my parents regularly replace "thank you" with "tank suit" in conversations with my sister and me.

Those are just two examples of inside jokes in the Tarnoff family, but there are tons more. I'm guessing that your families have them, too.

And I'd like to hear them. Share some of your best, even if they only make sense to you, using the Talkback feature below.
