Momma said.........

I can clearly remember my mother saying the same phrases over to me, which used to drive me nuts!! Now that I'm grown and a parent myself, I say some of the same things she said!!!!!

Such as.....

" You're face is gonna stay like that if you don't stop!"

" See, God punished you"

" I've got eyes in the back of my head "

" A little birdie told me "

" PAY ATTENTION! "



What do you repeat that your parents used to say to you?

Don't make me pull over...

I'm telling your father


LOL


:-*

haha YES!

I also say " Shut the dooooorrrrrrrrrr. No in or out. "

and " Wait till your father gets home "

oh, and the famous parent count "ONE..........TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......"

"You have 3 seconds"

I often catch myself calling them by their full names like "Jiana Mia...you get over here NOW!"

"No TV until homework is done"

"Just wait until you have kids"

"Don't make me repeat myself"

lol


:-*

"you! whatever YOUR name is!"
"what in the Sam Hill!"
"there's no reason anyone should get pregnant - there's a DRUGSTORE on EVERY corner"
"Look it up in the Dictionary"
"That JackAss!"

Mostly we just got that stare-with the one eyebrow that lifts up- and the eye that never seems to blink.

Can relate to most of Agofer's

Also, If I gotta get up from here...(that meant you better do what she said)

If you don't say your prayers before bed, the angels won't visit you in your dreams!

You betta get out my face before I knock ya teeth out and you'll have to eat off the floor They just laugh at me, they think I am hilarious! But they know when to stop messin' around!

Oh my gawd, we knew we were in deep doodoo with our mother whenever she would squench up her eyes, draw up her mouth and talk thru her teeth at you like Clint Eastwood!!
And then she had her own funny jokes, like if she spanked us my younger sister would say"I'm telling my daddy you beat us when he gets home" (God bless her),my mother would just answer, "Tell em ,tell em ,go uptown and smell em", Grrrrrrrrrr real funny lady.
Or she would say,"I CAN'T wait til you have your own home so I can come to it and make a mess and leave all the lights on" I used to always think, "Geez my mother has some really strange goals".

Hey! Hey!

" Money doesn't grow on trees"

"There are children STARVING in this world" (when we didnt finish our plates)

" I want ALOT of things"

oh, and she always said(but I do NOT).. " Tough titty said the kitty after the cow went dry " lmao i hated that one!

"Because I'm the MOTHER"!!
and I walk away thinking to myself "yeah your a mother alright, stinky lady"

Oh yeah I forgot the "Because I'm the MOTHER one and money don't grow on trees!"

We would say "I am hungry" and she would say "Hi hungry, I'm Beverly" Urgggggh!

When she said no to something and we would say "why" she would sometimes say "Z"-so irritating >:(

When she owed us money we would say Mom when are you gonna give us our money" she would say "As long as I owe you, you'll never be broke."

"You wanna be grown, but when you get there you are gonna wish you can go back to being a child."

"Just wait until you get ya own kids."

Well, not having kids I don't repeat anything, but I do remember her classic...

"Shut that GD, GD, GD door!"

And this was at a time we were attending a Mormon church...

Ugh... another I remember that used to annoy me soo much ... when I wanted something, or to do something and she said "No", I would ask her why..and she would say " Y is a crooked letter "

....I never understood that response, but it p'd me off!!!  >:(

lol

ugh...I grew up with my grandma, but when I did see my mother, she would say words like "guff" "Don't give me any guff!" I would get so >:(

My grandma is an old italian lady that just curses alot..lol

Although, one day she said "Don't make me lambaste you" hahahhaa I about died laughing..I really don't know why, but it was hilarious.



:-*

Oh my gosh this is hilarious, my mom said almost every one of these- including the 'tough titty said the kitty' one.  Even the y is a crooked letter haha.  I think the most annoying is when she used my full name with that tone. 

I can't think of any that aren't already mentioned, what a great thread.  The ones I catch myself using are 'one, two, three', 'Because I said so or because I'm the mother'.  We joke around and i say 'Chance I am going to beat you if you don't stop it' and he will laugh his head off.  But he knows when I'm serious and will knock it off.

..."Be the first!!!"

...Sigh!

I don't have any kids but I remember sitting in the back seat of the car and Momma's arm was always swatting at me while she drove. I would crack up because she always missed.

If she called from across the house, I would yell, "I'm coming" and she'd say , "So's Christmas!"

I'm guilty of using that one on my kiddos!



OMG Toodlee...I can't believe you got the y is a crooked letter too!! Are we related? lmao 

I always got in trouble for not closing the door...

Do we live in a barn or do you have a tail?

Don't let momma dearest get the hanger!

Wish in one hand and poopoo in the other and see what comes first..

LMAO...Imag....
I got the barn one too!!

and my hubby uses the wish in 1 hand and sh*t in the other...lol

When we got in front of her view of seeing something, especially the tv;
Yo daddy ain't no glass maker!

Try to sit or lean your rear on the coffee table, and my mother would say, "Tables are made for glasses, not *sses! "  

and one I DO try to always carry on...at bedtime, to my children:

" Good night, have a good sleep, God bless you, & I love you " 

ac, we must be, or our moms hung out lol.  I like the nice one you put up, even though she wasn't perfect my mom always told me:

"You can do anything you want to do in life"

At my house that one was "you've been drinking muddy water!"
And if we bugged parents about something we wanted to go do really really a lot, they would tell me "Let's don't and say we did"

If something was missing, broken, or just not the way it was supposed to be it was "the truck backed into it".  Sorry, it's my dad coming out here instead of my mom-his laborers would always blame the truck backed into something to cover up what the truth really was".

"Where are the GOOD scissors?!?!!!!"  "the truck musta backed into them, Mom"

Chilly..AHHHH!! Yes!  "Let's don't and say we did"
was big in our house too...

or...

"How does it feel to WANT?"

"Act your age, not your IQ" (i HATED THAT ONE! )  >:(

And the one she still uses today, since she's a drinker... "Alcohol kills all germs" pfffftttt 

"Make sure you got on clean socks and drawgs(underwear) with no holes, just in case you have to go to the hospital!"

Hahaha, I have to adopt some of those 'Mum' lines! As for my mum, whenever were would go to visit some friends, she'd first stop me before I enter their house and say: "Be nice and behave well. And offer to help them do the dishes." Every single time! I guess that's why I never do the dishes now that I'm all grown up.

My mom...has always enjoyed saying "Just wait until you have your own kids!", I hope someday you will have a child who is exactly like you!!!...sometimes it almost sounded if she was giving me the curse or something!

And now that I do have kids of my own, sure enough, I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm being karmically punished for the irritating things I heaped upon my mom when I was a child.

Yes, now that I have all these children, I am so sorry for all the craziness I put my grandparents through..I hope my kids are NOTHING like me...the old me anyway



:-*

I remember a scare tactic my momma used on me and it worked like a charm. When ever i would be outside playing she would want to make sure i got home before dark!

To ensure this, she would say that a boogie man lived in the light posts on the street. And when it starts to light up it is him waking up and he comes out and takes all the little boys and girls away!

I was scared to death of the light posts. I remember once coming home and i started to see it flicker and i thought for sure he was gonna get me!!

Lips

OMG Lips! Your Mom is a genius! Although I'm sorry you were terrified, I have to give your Mom props for that idea!

Well there is one thing i did, and i don't know where it came from but it worked, when my daughter was a little girl along with some nieces and nephews and cousins i had also.. and she and them were acting up.. i said.. "Okay that thats IT.. I'm calling the Nuthouse" i'd walk over to the phone, trying to hard to look mad.. "Yes i'm calling them to come pick you guys up".. right away.. i'm hearing NOOOOOOOO please don't call the Nuthouse, in crying voices.. I'll be good i promise.. OH NOOOO MOM NOT THE NUTHOUSE PLEASE!!!!!

Where did they get the idea the nuthouse is a place that under no circumstances they want to be there.. not even a "Whats a Nuthouse?".. "What's there?".. just a straight up.. NOOOOOO lol
