once when a friend (who was waiting for me to go to a movie) asked my mother for a tissue, she gave him a handful. He responded: "I don't need this many".

her response: "If you are going out with him you'll need them"

I was a fussy eater as a child and my mother and I would go around and around about it.

Finally, she would say "You'll eat it and like it".

And because I was also a wiseass, I would say "You can make me eat it, but you can't make me like it".

I usually got slapped at that point.

She also said "Shut up! My stories are on" when she watched her soap operas.

"don't talk while I am counting"..... when she was knitting

If you keep doing that or you will go blind

While swimming as a young child: "If you drown, I'll kill you"

When my mum was 91 and confined in a hospital bed and heard that I liked to play the state lottery, she fired away, "A fool and his money will soon be parted."
And of course, she was right.

I remember one very well..... "et's-lay o-gay" meaning "let's go" in pig-latin

which is funny now, because I'm gay....

"What do you think this is. . . ? Your birthday?" - when I wanted to have things my own way, and it wasn't going to happen

 

[Shepherd 2]

If you made a strange face to him being a brat, she might say,
"Be careful what kind of a face you make, it might freeze that way!"

This is going to out me as a closet lead foot, but mother did and still does glance over at the speedometer and says "Can you afford that ticket"

In my defence, I say the same thing to her sometimes too.

 

[Shepherd 2]

Imagine posting below a closet lead foot. My lead foot came out of the closet with my other parts.

My mother would often say with a blushing face, "XYZPDQ"
Which as many of you will already know means in military shorthand, "Check your zipper pretty damn quick!"

I remember a neighbor's mother saying something I'll never forget.

When out at the grocery her kids kept asking her for nickels. After a bit too much of this pestering she blurted out, "What? Do you think I shit nickels?"

"Go play in traffic"

...And sometimes, I did.

You're not ill. You'll be perfectly alright when you get to school.

 

[lennon]

"You'll sit there 'til you do!" when I thought I'd get away with not eating vegetables I didn't like.

And when I came out with an outrageous lie:

"May God look upon you sideways!"

 

[unloadonme]

"Don't forget to wash under your foreskin"

 

[lennon]

"Always wear clean vest and pants, because if you get run over . . . . "

 

[unloadonme]

"I'll knock your heads together"

My mom always say : do well and let the dogs bark

She also said to me once, while I was hurrying to finnish a paint job: Time does not respect what you do without him

Sounds like my mom.

She said to me once "that is like two bushes and a dog"
