What weird and wonderful things can you remember your parents saying to you as a child , 1 of my Mums favourites if we were being just a little bit out of line was "Im going to take down your name and skelp your address if you dont stop" , we always stopped mainly as to begin with didnt have a clue what she was on about then when we did it just made us laugh  |

my grandma had a few - especially about people she thought were ugly
'she's as fow as our back gate'
'a face you could chop wood with'
'the sights you see when you haven't got your gun'
I'll fill more in when I think of 'em |

"I heard that" - usually when walking up the stairs and thinking something to yourself
keep that up and I'll give you something to cry for
you'll be laughing on the other side of your face in a minute

"another good 1 was " do you want a smack" errr yes please mum lol"
my brother regularly used to say "yes please" and turn round and stick his bum out! it worked though, cos my strict mum couldn't keep a straight face at that and the giggles ruined the mood and got him off whatever his punishment would have been... |

"You have to finish everything on your plate, there are people in the world who are starving"
Never understood how this would have stopped the starving people in the world from starving............. |

"me mam "Yer not just a cabbage face." praise indeed."
i remember my friends little sister having a cabbage patch doll which bore a striking resemblance to me : brown hair (yes, i had it then), blue eyes and chubby cheeks
when we were babysitting one night, we had her in a state of some despair by telling her that i was its dad.
poor kid was mortified, and my mate didn't get his babysitting money off his mum cos when she came home, his sister was still crying
oops ! |

My mum didn't ever need to say anything when my brother or I were playing up, she just had this look, we then knew to behave or else.
My dad's favourites were
Whenever you said 'What' he would reply 'Pardon is the word'
'I'll give you something to moan about in a minute'

"My gran had a habit of reading the obituaries and saying there's a lot of people dying that never used to xx "
see i love things like that.
mums two classics were
(on a ferry across the channel) 'oooh, it's just like being on a ship'
(on holiday in an unseasonally hot germany) 'isn't this lovely ?, it's just like being abroad' |
