What nagging phrases did your parents use on a regular basis?

Question

My mum always nagged 'Tidy your bedroom' 'Get these shoes out of here!!!!!!' and 'Dinner's ready!! Now!!! Dinner's ready!! We had to run so fast and we'd get there immediately and she'd say it's probably all gone cold now' (Arghhh!!!!) ha. Oh yeah and the most common one (yawn) 'Think about all those poor starving children in Africa' I'm sure you've all had that one! And the usual kid reply was 'Well send it to them then 'cos I don't want it'

Answer 1

Drink milk and it builds strong bones.
Don't forget your vitamins!
Go to your room!
Clean your room (or any form of room and cleaning)
No TV before homework!
etc.

I'd have to say my most annoying is "I shouldn't have to ask for your help." Like people voluntarily scrub the toilets or something?

Answer 2

A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN IT'S PLACE.

That was a very important one since we lived in a very, very small house with 8 people sharing one bathroom. We each got one drawer in a chest of drawers and a little hanging room in the closet. Never missed out on anything, tho, having a large family is a blessing, but you've got to keep your stuff together.

Answer 5

My units would always say things like, "Come down now. We need to talk." Or if I was doing something, and they yelled my name, I would ask them, "What do you want!?" and they wouldn't give me an answer, just "Come down here now!"
I also got the "Dinner's ready!" too.
