I'm partial to the imitation-hillbilly "if the good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise,"

Agreed! A real hillbilly would say crick. [Right, Kaintuck??]

Parent: "Time for ta tas" (time for a sleep)

I was familiar with the other meanings of "ta" you mentioned, Jo (and can vouch for the common use of "ta" as "thanks" by an Ozzie mate), but I was relieved that you provided the translation for the "time for ta tas" line!
