Don't look at me with that tone of voice.
I'll take my hand off your jaw.
(Sarcastically miming a hand being removed from one's face while saying "like this?" Will get you a battering.)
Do as I say not as I do.
Get that off and get out in the sunshine.

"If you keep crying I’ll give you something to cry about.
My parents never said that to me though  "

I was always the sensitive one of the pack |

If you go out without wrapping up you'll catch Pneumonia.
I know this to be untrue, cos I contracted it in the middle of Summer about 2 years ago and someone that lived in the same block of flats as me actually died from it  |

"'Don't put that in your mouth...you don't know where it's been !'
I said that to a small child last winter who decided to lick my coat! "
Ah it was good advise back then...maybe not these days  |

"There are children in Africa who would love to have that meal!!
LJ"
A dinner lady once said this to me when I hadn't finished my lunch. My reply was "well you can send it to them". This got me sent to the Headmaster resulting in my having to write about not wasting food. To be fair, a better punishment than having to eat the lunch! |

"were you born in a barn
were you made at Pilks (pilkingtons glass) when you stood in front of the telly.
Do you think I came up the mersey on a push bike. "
Were you born in a barn for me also. My reply would be I don't know was I? Then I'd get a clip around the war for it |

When I was younger “be at the lodge 10 minutes before the last bus, I’m not driving up there to get you”
As a teenager “stop kicking that punch bag!”
Now “I’m not even bothering, you don’t listen any way” |

"Mum " what time did you get in last night "
Me " around 9ish "
Mum " No you didnt "
Me " Then why ask "  "
Worst thing was when you’re really late and you think do I call (from a phone box obviously!) and risk waking them and being in trouble or are they pacing around anyway because I’m so late! |

"Eat your Vegetables It'll will put hairs on your chest"
Ours was eat the crust off your bread it will give you curly hair or eat all your carrots and you’ll not need glasses, but my mums favourite line when we really annoyed her was “ I brought you into the world and I can take you out of it” and she still uses it to this day if we don’t listen lol |

You weren't born in a barn.
And the answer to the question that was asked daily "what's for tea?"
"Shit wi' sugar on"
Stop pulling faces, the wind'll change and stay like that.
One I say to my own kids "I brought you into the world, I'll be the one to take you out of it" |

Go and play out
Give me strength
You're a cheeky little sod (she still says that now to be fair)
Or when I knew I'd really pushed it too far 'STEPHEN !!!' - followed by that withering death stare only your Mam can muster |

This reminds me of when the ice cream van came to ours and we would run in and say mum have you any empty ginger bottles? Never asked for money as she probably didn't have any |

And after joining the army, don't have any loose women!! |

this and the classic “it’s like Blackpool Illuminations in this house” ~ both of which I say to my kids... 
Every single night of my childhood and every time I stay at the mothership. My daddy is the sweetest thing! 
Not sure where THAT came from?
