We were chattign about this on the train this morning: things our mothers used to say. We got:
"I wants don't get."
"If the wind changes your face will stay like that."
"Are you catching flies?" (When yawning)
So what did YOUR Mother say to you?

When I moaned as a teen about having nothing to wear she would always say " Blacken your as* and go out in your birthday suit!" Nice!
Lots of threats too like" Ill make you laugh on the other side of your face" if she saw you smirk at her of if you couldnt find something she asked you to get for her she would say" If I told you there was a bar of chocolates stuck onto it you'd find it". Sad to say I am now inflicting all these and many more on my own kids!

"eat your food, there are children starving in Africa that would love to have those green beans!" To which I always wanted to say..." Well! Please send them because I sure don't want them!"
If we were bad she would say "Just wait until your Father gets home!" which was terrible because you knew that you were going to get a spanken when he did and you had to think about it the whole time until he did.

Well, after a drug abuse prevention commercial on the radio said that "If you don't speak to your kids about drugs it's the same as telling them it's OK", she said "Don't do drugs.... And don't stick beans up your nose."
