What has your mother told you 100s of times?

Question

(I have asked this before, but I enjoy the variety of answers.)

Dear "smiley" - my mom told me that too, but I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it.

Dear "greenwood" - lol. -- too funny.

Please read each other's answers. There are some great ones. - lets see a whole lotta "thumbs up", okay?

Answer 1

im your mother...THATS WHY!

Answer 2

My name.

Answer 3

My mother told me so many things (and lots of times too), but one of the most memorable was "go out and pull some weeds"....
when we were whining, that's what we were told to do. That and "quit yer whining".
My mom had 7 children Unc.... she didn't take no guff from no one.
We had a huge garden (we were fairly poor, so mom was inventive in the stretching our grocery bill). She would say things like "time to pick that beans" or "that peas"-- to this day, i still have no idea where "that beans" comes from and neither does she. We still joke about it.
She said things like "If I've told you once, I've told you a million times..." what DOES that mean anyway? It's not logical... it's an illogical "if / then" statement LOL
She said "DON't SLAM THE DOOR!" at least a million times though. With 9 people in the house, there was certainly alot of comings and goings.... and that's another one "there sure are alot of comings and goings".....

LOL

1. Untie your shoe laces before you take them off.
2. I love you.
3. Want to help me bake?
4. Shut that door and get out. (??)
5. If you fall off that wall and break your leg, don't come running to me. (??)
6. When I start a new job: Give it a few weeks and you'll be wondering what you were so worried about.
7. Stand up to those people, they're bullies and you're better than that.
8. Eat your dinner or you don't get any pudding (dessert).
9. When I moved to another part of the country: Six months into the future, you'll feel differently and you'll be wondering why you were so stressed about it. It's the fear of the unknown.
10. You're so funny, you make me laugh.
11. Don't talk to strangers.
12. Show your manners: say thank you, please, sorry and you're welcome. Hold doors open. Give your seat on the bus to an elderly person.
13. When she was trying to get us out the door she'd say, "Chop, chop!" and we'd respond, "Seuy, seuy!"
14. And most importantly: say your prayers.

Answer 5

I won't forget "you "anytime soon. LOL. You have me running back & forth. Hope I can remember what I am doing. I just had another birthday. When you consider the alternative, I have truly been blessed. I am grateful for 77 years.

My precious Mother has been gone 22 years.
I think of her every day.
Her love for me ran deep & vice versa.

Oh the things my Mother said to me repetively~~~
"You'll be sorry one day"'
"How many times must I tell you."
" I hope you have one just like you,one day."
"Mark my words"
"You little huzzy you"

I'm sure there are many more that will come to mind, now that you have jiggled my brain but I am so into positive thinking that my mind won't like me go the other way.
Thank God !!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~
