She probably said a few silly things, but the funniest thing I remember is, when I was a teen, and I had been naughty. She ran after me, to give me a smack on the cheek. When she got to me and she aimed at me, I ducked down, so she missed my cheek, but instead hit into the glass door. This broke and her hand was cut and bleeding. It freaked us both out, and she never gave me a smack after that. Mind you, this was in the 70's.

Mom was very modern about some things and very old fashioned about others. Of the latter was her strong belief in spanking. And she spanked the old fashioned way--my bare fanny.
One time, although I knew arguing to keep my pants on would be fruitless I tried to talk her in to at least letting me keep my underwear on--which I thought might provide some insulation.
Mom had a zinger "It was not your panties that misbehaved"
How can you argue with logic like that?
We still laugh about it.
--I just thought of another in the same subject: "Do you want a spanking?"
"Yeah Mom--I'd like nothing better":)

Eat your crusts, it makes your hair curl
Don't sit on the radiator - you will get piles (haemarroids)
Telling lies gives you mouth ulcers
Eating cakes while they are still hot upsets your stomach - even though we could eat hot sponge puddings without a problem.

"If you two don't stop fighting I'll bang your heads together..."
She used to always say it and it worked for a while.
Then we thought we'd call her bluff and she actually banged our heads together!
We all just laughed (after we got over the pain of course) because we couldn't believe that she actually did it and i don't think she could either!
Bless her...

On death as a little girl I was told if I died I would close my eyes and never wake up - that made me scared to sleep
