why and how would i get square eyes from sitting too close to the tv?
how does eating crusts make your hair curly?
anyone else got any brilliant sayings from their parents?

well i have heard the tv thing but mine said that it could ruin your eye sight and may make you go blind...i have never heard the crust that makes your hair go curly though..i have heard every time you lie it makes your nose go longer and that they can see it in our eyes when we lie...i believe that one cause i never have been able to tell a lie and someone not be able to tell by how i act... i have also heard pretty is as pretty does...i was raised religious and i was happier then than i have ever been in my adult lilfe...childrens lives should be fun and happy experiences to look back on...i do not believe a lot of the old wise tells i use to believe any more though....but i hope this helped a little and i do not have the memory anymore that i use to have...

When you're 18 and move out you can do whatever you want.
Until your 18 your (any body part works here) belongs to me so you will not pierce, tattoo, color, perm, wear short skirts...etc
You have to mention the good ol' "because I'm mom thats why"
And my personal favorite " come back when your 21 and I'll explain" though I'm now 31 and have never heard any of those explanations

(In jest when I looked aimless) "What do you want?... Black eye? Knuckle sandwich? Poke in the eye with a sharp stick???"
"Now go on to bed as quiet as a churchmouse" (to which I squeaked and chimed like a mouse and a bell)
"You've got bloody verbal diarrhoea!" (My sister and I always thought they said PURPLE diarrhoea...)
In response to protests of innocence - "No Sapphire, you're a PARAGON OF VIRTUE aren't you?" (I was 2./3yrs old. People have always been confused by my vocabulary lol)
"Don't come running to me when you break your neck..."
(When watching TV) "I can see your brain dribbling out of your nose..."
"There are starving people in Africa and you're going to leave that pea..."
(When naughty) "You and I are gonna fall out BIG TIME young lady..."
(When I left a door open) "Thank you Jesus. (pause for my reply) Oh sorry, I thought you must be Jessus since you were clearly born in a barn."
(When I did something badly or half-ars*d and protested that I was trying...) "You're tryin? You're trying my patience!"
(When challenged) "Because I said so, that's why."
(When scolded for swearing/interruting/talking back) "When you're an adult you can do as you like..." (Liar! I'm 19 and I still get reprimanded by my mother for saying "it's ****"!)
(When I laughed at my mother getting angry) "You're gonna be laughing on the other side of your face when your father gets home."
(When whingeing) "Stop crying or I'll give you something to really cry for!"
(When foul-mouthed) "Get the soap and wash taht filrhy mouth out!"
"Just you wait 'til your father gets home..."
"While you live under MY roof!"
"I could grow potatoes under those nails!"
"Speak to me like that again and I'll give you a thick ear!"
"How many legs does that chair have?"
(To my insistence that I'm overweight) "I've seen more fat on a chip!"

If you cross your eyes they will stick!
If you dont eat your veggies you wont grow!
You swim any longer and you will get web feet!
God used a magic marker on people to make them different colors!
Soap will wash that word out of your mouth!
Close the door we arent cooling the neighborhood!

i always liked when I would break some cheap glass of my moms or anything she bought for under $1 and she would yell " I can never have anything nice" well gee if she would have bought something nice to begin with. And how about when a parent asks their kid "do you want me to bust your butt" really what answer do you think the kids going to give?

The only one I can think of from my mum is "Pack it in!!!" usually shouted at us when we were making a noise.
My ex-husband's mother used to call him "off-spring of Vipers" and when she was really angry she used to shout "I could willingly nail you to a torture stake"
I thought those were a bit harsh at the time but in hind-sight, maybe she should have!

Masturbatiion makes you go blind (It doesn't!)
If your chin goes yellow when you hold a buttercup underneath then you like butter (EVERYONE'S chin goes yellow in this case. And anyway, tthese days we should all be eating polyunsaturated margerine!!)
Don't make that face because if the wind changes you will stay like it!! (Now that is just cruel!!)
Great question!!

Here's a few:
I'm going to count to three...(okay, so count already)
Close the door, you weren't raised in a barn.
This hurts me worse than it hurts you...(wanna bet?)
Wait until your father gets home.
Eat your vegetables.
Stop rocking that chair back...Four legs on the floor.

Mum used to say "Your enough to make an angel swear!"
Also when the ice cream van came round if it was playing music he had no ice cream left!
