In honor of Mother's Day......MOMISMS! |
|
Where did moms come up with these? :silly:
-Money does not grow on trees. -Don't make that face or it'll freeze in that position. -If I talked to my mother like you talk to me.... -Always change your underwear; you never know when you'll have an accident. -Be careful or you'll put your eye out. -What if everyone jumped off a cliff? Would you do it, too? -You have enough dirt behind those ears to grow potatoes! -Close that door! Were you born in a barn? -If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. -Don't put that in your mouth; you don't know where it's been! -Be careful what you wish for, it might come true. -Don't eat those, they will stunt your growth. -If you don't eat those, you will stunt your growth. -It doesn't matter what you accomplish, I'll always be proud of you. -I hope that when you grow up, you have kids "Just Like you"! -Because I'm your mother that's why. -If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times. -Eat your vegetables, those children in China (Africa, Vietnam) would be happy to have some broccoli to eat! -If you fall out of that tree and break you leg , don't come running to me. -Yes, I *AM* the boss of you. -Because I said so. -Just wait till your father gets home. -I brought you into this world and I can take you OUT !! -I've got eyes in the back of my head, that's how -You'd lose your head if it wasn't screwed on! -Bored! How can you be bored? I was never bored at your age.

11. Don't sing at the table, you'll marry a crazy husband/wife. |
|
Stop that whistling, it means the devil is on your tongue.
Open your eyes and close your mouth and you might find what you are looking for.

Swear to God my mom told my brother and I that. We both remember it, she claims she never said it.

Do I have to keep talking until I'm blue in the face? You wouldn't be cold if you'd get up off your fanny and do something. All I want for Christmas/Mother's Day/Birthday is a little peace and quiet/respect/cooperation/help around here. You are just like your dad.

15. When my mom was really, really, really ticked off . . . |
|
she would say, "I'm gonna part your hair with a skillet!"
It always got me to stop doing whatever I was doing, because I had to momentarily reflect on exactly how to part someone's hair that way.
