Things you never thought you'd hear yourself say.

"YOURE GONNA HAVE A WHAT?"

Does he have a brain? (just a day or two ago).

Seems he does...

Hey, Boom-- I didn't know the good scissors were a universal phenomenon either, but check it out:

"Yes, but with freedom comes responsibility."








(Aaargh. That one got a "Geez Mom, you sound like a teacher.")

Don't make me separate you two!

"Don't make me come up there!"

"You're going to poke your eye out!"

(Recently said to a 22 year old who was trying to balance a bamboo stake on his forehead.)

Ha! Cyphercat! Maybe it's some kind of secret mom initiation... like when you go to the hospital and have a baby they give you some good scissors.

If not, perhaps I will start a trend by giving new mothers some good scissors.

Oh man, farmerman, osso, we need some context on those two!

littlek and Eva those are great ones. Isn't that "great responsiblity" thing from Star Wars?

Mr. B has heard them all (well maybe not "good scissors") but he is always saying "Don't make me stop this car!" and "Don't make me come down there!"

He says those things to me.

I just laugh my head off.

"I can't stand it when your hair gets in your eyes. Get a haircut! You look like a bum."




"Sit up straight. Don't slouch like that. And get your legs off the arms of the chair. That's an antique, for crying out loud!"




"When was the last time you...(cleaned your room, washed those jeans, read a book, set the table, fed the dog, etc....take your pick.)"

GreenWitch - I am always yelling about poking eyes out. No kidding. Everything in the world is a potential eye-poker-outer to me.

Eva.... are you my.... mom?

If it is, it came by way of my father, c. 1969. About the time I was learning to drive, if I remember correctly.

Oh, you just wait 'til Mo turns 13. You'll have a million of 'em, too!

Here's a good one from today's drive home from school:

"Stop mumbling! Speak up!"








(As if I really want to know what he just said.)

Hey, you kids! Get off my lawn!

Sadly, we have actually said that, although the kids in question were 20something BC students.

Will you turn that damn music DOWN!

OK, ............but DON'T wreck it, and it BETTER come back full of gas

Those are your PLAY clothes.

I told you so

"What do you expect, he's just a kid!"

OY! I am only 28 myself and this was in reference to a 19 year old! What happened?! Where did time go!?
