65 roses

i herd my mom talking on the phone to a friend of hers and she said cystic fibrosis it sounded like 65 roses so i say i have the 65 roses disease

I never used this phrase nor did I teach my daughter to say it this way. I am the one with CF & to me it important that the correct term be used. Cute saying it is, but not one that I have ever used.

The only time I ever use this term, is if someone keeps forgetting how to prenounce Cystic Fibrosis. I'll say "Just think of 65 Roses", and people will remember it that way.
