Funny things parents used to say

[violet-glow]

My OH's mum used to say to him,
'If you dont get washed the dirtman will come and eat your face'


My mum always used to say 'we'll see' If I ever asked for anything.
That used to bug me, now I find myself saying it to Zack

'thought you'd fallen down it' (ages on the loo) - I've just said that to Stuart arghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

'If I told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?'

'You'll get square eyes sitting that close' - like there's lots of people walking round with square eyes

'Do you ever listen?' nope

'Look at me when I'm talking to you' - i'm trying to look incredibly apolgetic and make you feel sorry for me, so no

Eat your dinner - there are starving children in Africa...........

 

[tracyM]

arghhhhhhhhhhh I've been dreaming about my mum, thanks a lot Yvonne

'Were you born in a barn? ' - you gave birth to me, you should know

'You're a rubbish window, but you make a bloody good door' (standing in front of the TV) - why not just say 'move'

'They won't pick themselved up' (leaving stuff out) - they might

 

[pips]

when two peas are left in the pot: 'theres enough left to feed an army!' (poor army )

if i stepped on her foot: 'its ok i have another'

at the beginning of illness, exam week or something: 'it can only get worse' -oh cheers mum! thats encouraging. she said that when i was having contractions

i too am morphing into my mum argh

ME ''where are you going daddy?''
DADDY '' To see a man about a dog''

LOL I think my mum went to the same school too - she has said everyone of these phrases I think! Trying to think of some more.....

Eat you dinner or you'll go to bed with no food..... asif, she never made me leave the table without food! Soon learnt that one

When I used to say some cheeky reply to my mom she's say
"You think you're sharp cos your head's pointed"

 

[emilia]

"When I was your age....." blah blah blah

What's for dinner? "Crispy cats tails & sweet potato"

Where are you going? (I ask whilst mum gets in car)... "Nowhere" ???

When are you coming home? "Never"... hated that - made me insecure!

"We'll see" & "In a minute".... never was!

When ever my mother had company and we wanted to join in, she would ask us if we wanted to count their teeth??????

One my DH uses....
"How can you be bored?.... go and break a few windows!!!"

When I asked my Mum what was for dinner she would always say 'A lash up in a dixie'? Still don't know what that means!!

When it was bed time Mum would say 'Right, time to go up the wooden hill'

 

[stephlw25]

ME: Mum ive got a spot on my tongue
MUM: Thats from telling too many lies ( i always believed her too!)

Also my mum would always say "ER... those shoes dont live there do they???" id always reply "yes they do cant you see the house their in?"

also if my room was messy for ages she would come in and put everything that was on the floor into a bin liner then pretend that she had thrown the lot out!! i used to go mad when she did this!! then she'd give me them back and make me sort it out and put everything away tidyily!!!

hehe i could probley think of loads but i was always stubborn as hell and would always give an answer back!!! then she would say "you have an answer for everything dont you?" ME: YEP!

I think my mam said all of those to me growing up lol.

Another one was, if i complained I didnt like whatever she had made for tea she would say "you'll sit there until you like it lady!"

 

[Em78]

Yep, my mum has said every one of those!

My sister gets away with telling my 3 yr old neice anything. she believes every word!

she was once fiddling with those temporary barriers in the post office and my sister said they were alarmed and if they went off a man would come and shout at her. never seen a child move away so fast!

actually thats one she must have got from mum - the man will tell you off! always stopped me touching stuff! better then -look with you eyes not your hands!

My gran always used to say - "don't do that your grandad will be Vexed" if i was doing something i shouldn't!

Mum always called me "Mardy" if i was in a bad mood, God i hate that word! she now calls Ewan "mardy" when he's crying - it drives me mad!

i got the usual - i'll give you something to cry about!
whats for tea "bread and pullit"

 

[Rosieroo]

ME: What's for tea - Mum: Shit on toast!
ME: I'm thirsty - Dad: I'm Friday!

Also believe that if I was in the car and touched the handbrake the car would flip over for years!!

 

[tracyM]

Me: what's for tea
Mum: told me what was for tea
Dad: dunno, haven't shot it yet

OH does the I'm thirsty, I'm friday one
the mums handbook must be loads better than the dads handbook

If it got to late morning & we weren't dressed yet my Mum would say
' Eleven O'clock & no poes empitied' !!

If we were being noisey Mum would say ' Sush, you'll wake the babies' I always wondered where these babies were!!
