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. :-)
 
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:
