Oh my God! I can't believe I forgot that one!!!! Laughing

We heard it all the time, and guess what? her wish came true pretty much for all of us. We all had at least one that was as obnoxious as we had been! Razz

naturally, I have laid the same curse upon my own!
But it's different, cause they're boys. They'll never be mommies. They'll get some of the misery, but dads get off easier in that aspect. (Although my oldest is considering being a stay-at-home when the time comes)! Smile

My mom did the **** on a shingle too, and also "I hope you have a little girl just like you - that'll teach you."

She also said if you untied your belly-button you'd deflate like a balloon, she called the National Anthum "Jose, Can you see," gifts were "happy prizes," and god, a million other things I cant remember under this pressure.

How about: "you need to wear clean underwear. What if you were in an accident?" As an adult I learned that people who are in that serious of an accident...well, you can't tell if their underwear was clean before or not.

Dammit...my mom teaches social work, and her quotes always lean towards the annoying meddling pseudo-intellectual side. I'd post some, but I stopped listening years ago.

I was once giving my mother a rations and she snapped at me... "You treat your mother nice! after all, half the people in this world have mothers!"

(She was a little agitated.)

On being told about what other children were allowed to do/wear/eat/watch on TV etc.:

"They do...WE don't"

On the best approach to get your own way:

"More flies are caught by honey than by vinegar"

And so many more, which escape me! Good idea for a thread.
