It reminds me of the the thing with the states... I forget the whole exchange, but "What did Delaware?" (Della wear) "I don't know, Alaska!" (I'll ask her) was in there.

Barbara, who answers in American English. My housekeeping skills attest to the truth of the second law of thermodynamics: Left to themselves, things get more and more random!

I never heard Morning Glory except as a name of a rose. It is very pale pink, with a long stem and it does look glorious when it is erect but not fully ready with drops of morning dew on it.

But, can I say to a man he's my sunshine if he's my sunshine?

 Or is it something that is said only by men to woman?

I dont think that there is any special meaning. But my husband wakes me every morning for the last 14 years with this, Good morning, glory. He never misses a day.

Good Morning Glory is a song by Buck Owens. My parents would sing either one of these songs to us children to help us have a good day.

"Good morning, sunshine" is more of term of endearment. You usually say it to a child or to someone with whom you would flirt. You probably would not say it to a co-worker or someone on the street. "Good morning, Glory" is an expression used in the sme manner, but usually by older people. I am mid-thrities and have never said this in my life. I am not even sure i have heard my parents say it. My granparents would say this.
