Moms are great! Gotta love ‘em. But, seriously, they say funny stuff. I was remembering on vacation recently some things my mom said…some of them I’ve repeated.
Which of these are familiar to you?
Here are 25 things my mom used to say:
“Whatever floats your boat”
“If I had a dollar for every time”
“I’m always a day late and a dollar short”
“You’re cruising for a bruising”
“And if you don’t quit it you’re gonna get it”
“Use your head for more than a hat rack”
“You’d forget your head if it wasn’t attached to your shoulders.”
“These socks won’t pick up themselves.”
“If you keep looking like that your face is gonna freeze.”
“Cut it out before someone gets hurt.”
“When I was growing up…”
“Starving children in Africa…”
“Get outside and play”
“A little “birdy” told me!”
“Am I talking to a brick wall?”
“I don’t care who started it, I said stop!”
“If you don’t stop crying, I am going to give you something to cry about!”
“If it were a snake, it would have bitten you.”
“You will eat it, and you WILL like it!”
“You can’t find it? Well, where did you leave it last?”
“Keep crying, and I’ll give you something to cry about”
“Because I said so”
“I’m not made of money”
“Don’t give me that attitude.”
“…talk until I’m blue in the face….”
What is something your mom used to say? Do you say them to your kids today?
