| When you were a kid..... What are some of the expressions your parents used when talking to you? You know...like when you are in trouble, or...when getting the old 'pep' talk, or...just general expressions that they used. One that we got: You'll be okay. If it doesn't kill you it will make you stronger. |

| My mom's stock answer to the question why? was, because I said so and I'm the mother and that's good enough. She was also fond of, life's not fair, get used to it. I'm a better mom than she was and my daughter is a better kid than I was so these god awful expressions aren't used in my house.

| "Always wear clean underwear!" was my favorite. As far as expressions, if mom took us to her friends homes and they offered us anything to eat or drink, we would always have to look at her for the signal-- the approving nod or the disapproving LOOK

| My Mom used to say something like, "Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about." Obviously it didn't have to much effect on me because I'm not even sure if I worded it correctly.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | If I say "You can't make me" she'll say "I already made you." Yeah....that one bugs me. If I say "that's not fair" I get "A fair is where they give a prize for the biggest cow." "because I said so." and so on.

| OMG, LOL...my mom said that all the time too! If I said "well, Mary Alice gets to do it", she'd say "So, do you want to go live with Mary Alice?". UGH. As IF she'd let me go live with her family, LOL. And as if they'd WANT ME, rofl. "Don't look at me that way; your face might freeze". "When you move out, you can do anything you want to do" (this was when I was like, 10) And the thing that used to REALLY get to me was when she'd say "There was a little girl, with a little curl; right in the middle of her forehead. And when she was good, she was very very good, But when she was bad,she was HORRID" Clutch the pearls, can you imagine a mom saying that to her smart aleck daughter who thought she knew everything?

| I got this a lot "If you don't straighten up I'll return you to the tree stump in the woods I rescued you off of" I seriously thought my dad found me on a tree stump for the longest time |

| My mother always said "Knock it off or I'll knock your teeth down your throat". I always hated it, but it straightened me up when she said it. My father never lifted a hand to any of us - but my mother sure did.
