    My mother used to say “If wishes were horses,” and I had no idea where that came from. I didn’t get internet until after her death in 2001. I looked up that saying and the complete version is, " If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. " Apparently, it’s a very old saying so I guess adults weren’t always gross.

      No, that’s wrong. Here’s the correct saying: If wishes were horses than I horse you a wish cock up the ass.
