he he he you realy laboured all night to write a two-liner???

The real saying is 'omo titun' a new born baby not 'omo tutu' a cold child!

The Yoruba saying means the elderly will not lie indolent and allow things to go bad.  If you have an adage in your native language fill free to write it and then translate what it means.
