These familiar saying have somehow been handed down from mother to daugther right through the ages. How many of these did you grow up with?
-Who do you think you are?
-Ask your father (closely followed by "Ask your Mother")
-Bored! How can you be bored? I was never bored at your age.
-I'll treat you like an adult when you start acting like an adult!
-Look at me when I'm talking to you.
-Don't you roll your eyes at me!
-Don't pick it, it'll get infected.
-You'll put your eye out with that thing!
-I'm going to give you to the count to three.
-Don't put that thing in your mouth, you don't know where it's been.
-Wear clean underwear in case you get in an accident and have to go to hospital.
-Don't cross your eyes like that, one day they'll freeze that way
I don't care who started it, I'll finish it!
-Don't EVER let me catch you doing that again!
-Why? Because I SAID SO, that's why!?!
-If such and such jumped off a cliff, would you jump too?
-If I catch you doing that one more time, I'll...
-Your father is going to hear about THIS when he gets home!
-If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
-How many times do I have to tell you, don't throw things in the house!
-Do you think your clothes are going to pick themselves up?
-"I don't know" is NOT an answer!
-I know it's not fair. Life isn't fair.
Thanks Mom for all the advice...it's still working today.
