LOL I couldn't count how many times my parents counted to 3.
"I think you talk to hear your head rattle".....
"Money does not grow on trees"....
"Boogeyman comes out, if you don't go to sleep"....My parents are evil.
"If you're ever going to say anything stupid, Don't stand next to me while you're saying it"......Again, my parents are evil.
"Get your finger out of your nose!"
"I've dieted, worked out, and even fasted.....Where's the duct tape for these pants?"....

"You and that fucking rock and roll!"

"Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out!"
"When I was your age..."
"Never throw the first punch,once they do though let them know they've been in a fight!"
"Son,You've made me proud!"

I felt sorry for myself because I have no shoes until I met a man who has no feet.

Some of the ones my parents used to say
- do as i say not as i do
- what were you thinking
- i don't care (insert name) is allowed they are not my child
Did we have the same parents?





about 2 or 3 years ago, i had the whole army in the car going to the zoo. the older 2 were doing the typical "OMG MOM HE'S BREATHING MY AIR STOP TOUCHING ME AUGHH!!!" stuff that kids do. i had a blistering headache, and got up early to make it a special day, after getting home at 4 am. it was about 9 when we left. So anyway the kids are all bugging out, i asked them a few times calmly to mellow out. and then i snapped. and i actually screamed this:
"SO HELP ME GOD IF I HAVE TO PULL THIS CAR OVER....."
and then i trailed off, and paused, horrified. my wife looked at me and went "wow. hi dad!" and we had to pull into the emergency lane to giggle for about 5 minutes. all day she'd say stuff to me like "as long as you're living under MY roof...." etc. good times.
i think the number one thing i say which i think all parents do is "I'll think about it". which of course means no.

Life isn't fair. (In response to "Moooom, that's not fair."
LOL... oh boy.. great thread!!!
"I do not care what such and such's parents let them do, you do not belong to them"
" Would you like some cheese to go with that whine?"
"Don't make me get out my ugly stick"
"Don't make my hand and your butt have a chat"
" I wouldn't go there if I were you"
WHen asked, "Are we there yet, or how much farther...
answer: "We will get there when we get there... and a kabillion more miles, would you like to ride on TOP of the car??"
"That's just fantastically craptastic!"
" You did WHAT?"
" I don't care what you say, your room is NOT clean"

"Turn that crap off," in reference to the television
"Where were u last night?"
and what about
"NO!" I hated that word. It was my first word as a baby but I still hate that word to this day, unless I'm the one saying it.
"You love my lady lumps."
"I have to meet their parents before you go anywhere with them"
"I brought you into this world and I CAN take you out"
"Do you think you are the only one that lives in this house?"
"Where did you hear that at?"
