Funny Things Our Moms Used To Say

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Spartanburg, S.C.

This room looks like a tornado went through it.

We're having poison for dinner and you're going to like it. 

If you don't stop crying, I'll give you something to cry about.

Just wait until your father gets home.

Sit up straight, you're going to get stuck like that.

Did you just roll your eyes at me?

I brought you into this world and I can take you back out of it.

What do you think, I have ESP?

This is for your own good.

Because I said so, that's why.

Am I speaking a foreign language?

Put your jacket on, you're going to catch pneumonia.

Get that look off your face, or I get it off for you.

When you move out, then you can do whatever you want to do, but until then...

I don't care what everyone else is doing.  If Jimmy jumped off a bridge, would you jump too?

Put clean underwear on, in case you get in an accident.

You're going to sit there until you finish all your dinner, or you're getting it for breakfast.

Eat with your mouth closed.

I carried you for nine months...

Stop making faces, the wind is going to blow and you're going to get stuck like that.

One day you'll thank me for this.

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times...

This is going to hurt me, more than it hurts you.

I love you more than you'll ever know.

Jean, hate to admit it but it all sounds so familiar.  Not only do I remember my mom saying alot of this, but I can hear myself saying some of it to my own kids and I can bet that they'll be saying some of this to their kids as well.  Some things never change.

Jean:

My mother's comment - "You call that music?" Her critique on Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin.

Fond memories, indeed...

All of these quips must have come from the "Mom Handbood" that all new mothers receive at the hospital when their children are born.  Thanks for sharing.
