"It wasn't what you said...it was your tone of voice!"

I never liked that one either . . .

get the belt.

My mother used to say this alot (not necessarily to me):

"Isht fuzzy fire and save the matches!"

:confused:

PsychTau

Me too. And I swore I would NEVER say that.
But once I started to work in public education, I found that I said it a LOT!:p

My parents said it...I"ve said it too!:o :p

Yup... I got that one too.

My mom used to say "Your face is going to freeze like that!"

Another of my parents' favorites was "I'm so disappointed in you." They had this whole script for my life, that pretty much went out the window when I hit 16 or so... but that's a rant for another day. Suffice it to say that I'm the black sheep ;)

lol all of these are hysterical! the ones i got were... if i wanted to do something my parents would say.... how many votes does mommy have? (i would say- 30 or however old she was) how many does daddy have? (age here) how many do YOU have.... 8... i have 8 votes.. thanks dad..

and when i would try to get my mom to buy or get something- she would say... i am not montey hall... this is not lets make a deal... grrr

OMG, these are all so familliar!:D

I'll wash your mouth with soap if you da say that again! Soap did not taste the bad!:D

Wait till your Father Gets Home! Where in the hell was I going at 5-6.

Dad gets home, Boy Go to the switch bush and dont you run! Well did of course, but was not allowed out of the yard! Boy did I get it as had already been told you ass will get spanked so hard, you wont be able to sit for a week!:( Well still set, but moved a lot on the chair! Cheek to cheek, no comfort there at all!:eek:

Damn, I remember that one too! or "pick a switch off the tree" WTF? Yeah that is adding insult to injury!

hahaha, there was only one time when my mom washed my mouth out with soap.

i of course being the complete smart ass that i was when i was a little girl said "hmmm.......that tasted good"

OOOh yea, then it was wait til your Father gets home! Revert to the above!:(

Hell, foaming at the mouth and Mom was so mad, well, she was livid, but Dad Did The Deed!:o Very Well I might Add!:eek:

I am not a Bad Boy, I am Mishcecvious:D

Heard the latest "parental correction"?
 

I swear, I have heard it all.... I was out at a bagel place this morning. A family was at another table and the daughters, about 7-8 yrs old, were acting up. The mother said to them "You are not living up to expectations".

Apparently "You better behave this instant or I'll slap the snot out of you" is not quite as fashionable as it was when I was that age. It was certainly more effective, though. :p

From an earlier generation, when I did something dumb my Grandfather would tell me, "You don't have a thimble full of sense."

For those of you who may not know, a thimble is a little metal thing you wear on the tip of a finger when sewing by hand.
