Posted: 3/16/2007 10:54:24 AM | | When I would say to my mom, "I'm hungry", she'd say, "Hi hungry, my name is Lucy." That used to really piss me off. Or if I was sulking, she'd have a "pity party" for me and go "Awww, poor Lisa", that pissed me off too. I don't have kids, and hope I wouldn't use either of those on them. | |

Posted: 3/16/2007 9:05:40 PM | Whenever I was doing something slighty dangerous or daredevil, I would hear:
Don't come running to me when you break your legs.
OR
Don't come looking for me when you poke your eyes out.
My Dad used to give me this bit of wisdom:
"you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friends nose"
When in public when my kids were acting up, I have told them:
There are corners everywhere!
or
When we get home, I am telling your mother that I'm never taking you anywhere again!
(my children know I'm joking)
LOL

Posted: 3/17/2007 1:16:01 PM | "Don't swallow your gum. It'll stick to your ribs."
"I hope you have 5 kids just like you."
"Money doesn't grow on trees."
"Always wear clean underwear. You never know if you'll get in an accident and end up in the emergency room."
"You think you're royalty or something?" (Actually, I supposedly do have a tiny bit of royal blood in me. LOL!)
"I can't wait until you're 18."
Yep, I've said all but the last one to my own.
I'm just the lady that married your father yup this is for real! ^Msg. 12 ... LOL! THAT was funny!
I constantly heard "There are starving kids in India". I made the mistake once of telling my parents they could send them my food. ^Msg. 55 ... I heard that one, too, and have also reminded my own about that, besides the little ones in Ethiopia.
Great thread, OP! Thanks for the laughs, and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Posted: 3/17/2007 5:20:11 PM | when i wanted to do something usually pretty dangerous or so my mom thought she usually said the same thing every time "alright but if you break a bone or cut off a limb I'm not taking you to the hospital".Yes I say the same thing to my kids.I think it makes more aware of their situation(so they are a little more careful) and maybe a little more self reliate(they have to realize there won't always be someone to help them). | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 5:50:26 PM | " Don't care who started it...I'm finishing it!" when my brothers and I would argue about anything....
Caught myself saying that to my little ones in the back seat of the car. Grrrr thanks Mom!  | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 10:00:32 PM | "Because I said so!" (usually accompanied by squinted eyes and an "I mean business" type tone of voice) Yup ... I've said that one, too.
When my own was almost 4 years old, I discovered a name, drawn in crayon, on one of my favorite paintings, right there at the bottom of the painting. I asked my kiddo, "Who do you think you are?" It took everything in me not to crack up laughing when I heard, "I'm ________ ________ ________" (proudly stating full name -- first, middle and last), as if a candidate for President. Even though the painting was "damaged," I still have it hanging up. That experience is just one of many precious memories that I'll cherish forever.
Parental sayings ... *sigh* ... pearls of wisdom! | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 3:50:05 AM | just remembered another one... "eat your vegitables boy!!, otherwise you wont grow to be tall and strong"
Well these days they got the height part right (i'm 6'5) and i dunno about strength... although i do lift roughly 200 tonnes of bags, cargo, courier, mail and coffins every day so i guess they were right. Scary how some sayings are true | |

Posted: 3/25/2007 9:31:38 PM | Oh, and also "Try it. You might like it." That always annoyed me. And when I would whine "I'm hungry!" , my dad, too, would say, "Hi, hungry, my name is _______." I remember that. I wonder who the hell started the trend of the latter comment.  | |

Posted: 4/15/2007 1:37:06 PM | | When I was growing up and we were about to go out we would ask where are we going? My parents' answer was "round the corner in a row boat" and if we asked what was for dinner it was "fried farts and dandelions". We also got "close the door were you born in a barn" and my most favourite "you better finish your dinner there are children starving in Africa" I always wished that they would actually send the food to Africa. I alsoremember the "stop your crying or I'll give you something to cry about". | |

"Because I said so." The first sign of a dumb rule. | |

Posted: 5/16/2007 7:27:00 AM | More parental brilliance:
"When I want your opinion, I'll give it to you."
"Don't look at me in that tone of voice!" | |
