The Things Your Mother Used To Say

Unread post by **Raybosailor** » 17 Jun 2016, 10:28

At a family get together recently the topic of conversation was the amusing things our mums used to say to us when we were kids.

Like most kids I was a devil for walking along the top of a wall or climbing up structures and my mums reaction would be "don't come running to me when you break your leg"

Or when we were being cheeky she would say "you'll be laughing on the other side of your face soon".

I'm sure there are thousands of amusing quotes that parents used to say to their kids some regional some nation wide so post up the ones you remember for us all to enjoy.

One more before I go "if you've had a wash you've dried a funny colour"

What about when you were pulling a face and she said "if the wind changes, you will be stuck like that" ?!

Mine used to say that - unfortunately I think she may have been right as I have a permanent scowl!!

"Do you want me to slap your face off?"

That'll be great - think what a hit I'd be at "show and tell" when I bring my face in in a jar!

"Do you want me to slap you into the middle of next week?"

That wouldn't be so great - I'd be over there with no face, so no-one would recognise me...

If you're too full to finish your dinner, you're too full for pudding.

If you don't finish your dinner I'm sending you to bed without your tea.

If you don't eat for your dinner you'll get it for your tea.
