What’s a phrase that your parents used years ago

When you fall out of that tree and break both your legs don t come running to me said my Mom....lucky for me when that did happen it was only one leg and I was at Boy Scout camp.......
 
Best advice I ever got from Dad was when I was about to get married, he said, "Son, Two things to remember ",Don't ever count on a woman to pay your bills " and "Don t ever let a woman leave you twice...great advice, served me well and I passed it on to my son......
 
Some good ones...

you wait til your father gets home! (Heard that a lot!)

he would say.. when only half pissed, I’ll kick your *** so far up between your shoulder blades that when you wanna **** you’ll need to take your shirt off! (Mind you only have pissed.. really pissed...quiet and watch out!)

Shut the damn door! You brought up in a barn?
Nothing like screwing up 7 o'clock in the
morning and hearing " wait untill your dad gets home" made for a long day.

Why yes it did! Was there many times!

:lol:
 
Strict disciplinarians that my parents were, I only remember getting actually the belt
a couple times - which was enough.
From there on, the nuclear deterrent from my dad was when he would silently glare
at me and grab his belt buckle.
Whatever I was doing at that moment STOPPED, instantly....
That's all it ever took from then on. :)
 
I forgot another Dad phrase.. "Be like Pop not like Sis and lift the lid when you piss".
 
My mother, being the god fearing catholic that she is would say "God hates (insert whatever I did wrong here)". I got caught cheating on a test in school so it was "God hates cheaters.". I lied about something then it was "God hates liars.". Gee, I wonder why I'm not the pillar of our catholic community?
 
When I came home a little sideways, my grandma would always say....”Geoffrey, are you all in”? To which I would answer...”no grandma, part of me is still outside”!
 
When I was old enough to ask for a tv in my bedroom, Dads reply was, "There are two things you do in the bedroom and tv is not one of them." Didn't understand that answer at the time , but , to this day there has never been a tv in mine or my kids bedroom. My oldest, in her mid thirties still has never had a tv in her home.
 
When something fits perfectly, “ like socks on a rooster”.
When I wasn’t acting right, “ you better straighten up and fly right”.

That first one reminds me of my buddy Rich who says when something fits well..."it's like a cock in a sock"

:rofl:
 
If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.


Also Time Out........when I grew up time out was laying in the kitchen floor after my Mom backhanded me out of my chair. Usually for calling one of my Brothers a Dick or something at the dinner table :lol: Didn't hurt me in life one bit!!!
THE BACK HAND I DUCKED ONCE AND THAT WAS A MISTAKE . WHAT CAN NEXT HURT MORE WAIT TILL DAD GETS HOME :eek::eek:
