THINGS
MOTHERS SAY
All of us were guided by our mother's voice, wisdom and
common sense, even if we didn't think so at the time.
Whether we remember what she said fondly, or try to
forget these phrases, they are still part of us.
Ultimately, without even realizing it, we pass them along
to our children, who will in most likelihood pass it on
to their children.
Here are some that I remember WELL!!!
Someday your face will freeze like that!
What if everyone jumped off a cliff? Would you do it,
too?
You're going to put your eye out with that thing!
How many times do I have to tell you...don't throw things
in the house!
Close the door behind you -- were you born in a barn?
Don't put that in your mouth, you don't know where it's
been.
Why? Because I said so, that's why?
Don't use that tone with me!
Eat those carrots, they're good for your eyes. Have you
ever seen a rabbit wearing glasses?
Did you flush?
You can be anything you want to, if you just set your
mind to it.
There's enough dirt in those ears to grow potatoes!
Be good -- but if you can't be good, be careful.
I don't care what "everyone" is doing, I care
what you are doing!
If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at
all.
I hope someday you have children just like you.
Don't talk with your mouth full!
Always put on clean underwear in the morning, in case
you're in an accident.
Sit like a lady!
Don't pick, it'll get infected.
I'm not just talking to hear myself.
I'm going to give you until the count of three.
Put that down! You don't know where it's been!
Don't cross your eyes or they'll freeze that way.
If you swallow a watermelon seed, a watermelon will grow
out your ears.
Men perspire, ladies glisten.
There's enough dirt behind those ears to grow potatoes.
And last but not least, my personal favorite:
I LOVE YOU!
