The things people say!
Happy Birthday Gordon Lightfoot!
Don't you just love the name Gordon Lightfoot!
It is the type of name of somebody in your class at school.
I remember some of the boys in my class....
ordinary names....
Gerald Kirby
Steven Jackson
Paul Hodgson
Billy Wilkinson
Paul Sherwood
ordinary names!
Childhood......LOL!
Do you remember some of the things your parents said?
Do you ever find yourself saying the things your parents said?
If I ever went out with one button unfastened on a blouse, ie the neck button mum would shout "Cover you bare chest up!" LOL!
Joyce, my neighbour called round the other day and said, when talking about her fence...
"Fred had to come round and sort me out!
He had to fit me 2 new hinges!"
We did laugh....
anyway some of these had me howling.....
The things your parents said to you and you swore you'd never say to your kids (but probably will anyway!)
"You're not sorry,
you're just sorry you were caught!"
"I'll remind you of that when you have children"
"If you carry on treating this place like a hotel I'll start sending you the bills"
"If you don't take your coat off you wont feel the benefit when you go out"
"When I was young, I got an apple and an orange for Christmas and that was it!"
"Carrots are good for your eyesight. Have you ever seen a rabbit with glasses?"
"It's only rain - you wont melt!"
"What do you mean you're bored? Only boring people get bored!"
"What kind of haircut do you call that?"
"If you think you are going out like that you can think again!"
"Don't come running to me when you break your leg!"
"You want how much? I'll go and pick some leaves off the money tree at the bottom of the garden will I?"
"Close the door. We're not heating the entire street!"
"You've spent all day with your friends, why do you need to phone them now?"
"And when I say 8 o'clock, I mean 8 o'clock!
"You dont like school? The best days of your life are at school!"
"You don't know how lucky you are!"
I am laughing as I type these!
LOL!
Have a nice day!

Absolutely hilarious. I didn't have a conventional upbringing so no parental anedotes to add - but these were really funny!
Another original post!
Remember most of those. Brilliant! Where do you get your ideas from???
Those made me giggle
How about these.......
"Eat your crusts, it will make your hair curl"
"Close the door, you werent born in a barn"
"Tidy your room or else" ( I wondered or else what, found out one day, came home from school to find my things all over the garden)
Love your ideas D
Take care
Gill

I Love to hear Gordon Lightfoot sing!
thanks for stopping by, and the comment

People at my school only had normal name, but my dad's friends' names could have been straight out of the beano: Speedy Watkins, The Prof, Warren Peace (that was his real name!), etc.
My least favourite of those quotes was "School days are the best days of your life", which I always considered to be a dreadful outlook for the future, especially given how awful it was. Fortunately, it is wrong!
How about;
'Get that muck off your face'~
'You're only a kid, how old do you think you are'~
...followed often the same day by
'Grow up'~
'Do as I say, not as I do'~
'I've told you three times, I shan't tell you twice"~
...my mother was heard to say that on more than one occasion..!
Huh?
No wonder I was a confused child!
I saw Gordon Lighfoot twice in concert many years ago. He was very ill and almost died last year, but has now fully recovered. He is from here in Ontario.
Hi there...above comment was mine..one of these days I will remember to sign in properly..
"When will you learn"~
LOL
I believe that was another Mumism!
Thanks Girls for your comments.
Strangely enough I bumped into Gerald Kirby only this afternoon!
Small world eh!
Dxx
Oh yes, Gordon Lightfoot. How could I have forgotten.
I loved Sundown, such a relaxing song.
Remembering the things mom said to me and I to my brood:
"clean up your plate! Children are starving in China."
"Don't talk back or I'll slap you into next Tuesday!"
"If you keep making that face, it will stay that way."
"If you don't wash your ears, weeds will grow out of them."
Just a few.
Love 'em. Will add: "I hope you have a child just like you!"
And I did.
(((((HUGS))))) to my Glitter Sister
Universal, aren't they? LOL Oh, how many times I've caught myself saying some of these sorry things.
Oh, by the way, I got here by going to my favorites and clicking on the "glitter sisters" file and there you were. :)
Fantastic!
Sisters!
My mum used to say
"what are you, daft?"

Hello! Popped over from Violette's web site...
This post made me laugh because although we don't have children yet, my husband and I just got a cat, and I've started saying things like this to the cat... along with:
"Oh, you think my sole purpose in life is to play with/feed/pet you, don't you?!"
and (this wouldn't apply to a kid, but still):
"You don't see ME walking on the counters, now do you?"
