"I'll try" and I say,

"That's all a steer can do", usually I just get the blank stare.

My mom had some tongue in cheek sayings that I didn't understand until later in life... one was "If you sat on ice cream, you could tell me what flavor it was."

My personal favorite is from "Illusions" by Richard Bach; "Argue your limitations and sure enough, they become yours."

“I’m tired. I’m tired from doing nothing. When you’re tired from doing nothing, it’s hard to get rested.”

My great aunt used to say that frequently towards the end of her life. The more accurate issue was that she was tired due to her declining health. Perhaps she felt better by attempting to believe that it was just a vicious cycle from doing nothing.

I know exactly how she felt. Age or infirmity add to the pain.
