"go tell your dad what you did"
"just wait till your dad gets home, your gonna get wupped!"
"you have to study to be stupid, don't you?"
"go ahead stick that nickel in the socket, see what happens"
"don't make me turn this car around"
"get your elbows off the table"
"close your mouth when you chew"
"come here, then licks her fingers and wipes something off my face! ewwwwwwwwww

Answer 2

The face thing and the bridge thing. Except she replaced the bridge with the Empire State Building. She didnt know what to say when I said Well if everyone jumped off the Empire State Building, after a while it wouldnt hurt anymore. haha

Answer 3

- yes. She did, and I just asked; "but what if my bro's good and I'm bad? Then santy has to come over, right?", to which the answer was 'yes', so I said "you're lying then! He *will* drop by, no matter what!"

- yes. And I asked her to give a complete scientific explanation. She gave up and said ok fair enough; it won't.

- yes. My answer; "if they want it, they can have it! It's no use for me anyway and they won't have to kill for it anymore."

- yes. I said; "Yes I would, just to see why everyone's jumping off a bridge."


What my mother told me as well;

- Don't swallow your gum, it'll stick your intestines together.

... so I did it to see what would happen. I was disappointed to find my mother lied again.

- Santy is real. There he is.

... but I couldn't find daddy anywhere while santy was there :(

- (this was when there were loads of Santy's on the street, one inside a place we were in, and loads walking the streets with kids following. I was looking out and ask my mother why there were more Santy's and who was the real one) They're all his assistants. He can't come and see everyone himself so he needs those fellas.

... my initial thought was "I hope those fellas get paid for doing such a s|-|ite job.", then, I started thinking; "in fact, Santy is a fecking arrogant little pr|ck if he doesn't even want to go through all that trouble to see every child on earth." From that day on, my faith in Santy seriously diminished. LOL

Answer 4

Eat your food. There are starving kids in africa that would kill for this meal!

Answer 5

Always wear clean underwear in case you are in an accident (which I never understood because if you are in that bad of an accident you probably soiled your underwear).

Never talk to strangers or take gifts from them(does that still apply now that I'm an adult?).

Answer 6

All of the above but she also told us not to eat our boogies because there were bugs in them. Worked like a charm. I recommend it to all parents who have booger eating kids.

Answer 7

You're gonna put your eye out with that thing!

Nothing good happens after midnight.

Always wear clean underwear, you never know when you might be in an accident.

Answer 8

Only the very special & prescious kids like you get to ride the short bus Robby

Answer 9

Stop sucking your thumb or it is going to fall off!

If you back talk one more time, I am going to get the belt

Don't slam your door or I'll take it of the hinges (and she actually made my Dad take my sister's door off for 2 days!)

Answer 10

My mom used to try to discourage us from sweets by telling us that too much sugar could give you a tapeworm! Even though we knew it wasn't true, this image in our heads usually made us not want sweets!!
