Family quote that you heard while growing up. (house, famous, school)

[JustPassinThru]

"Pull up your britches before you fall down."
(More applicable today?)

"Kwitcher lollygagging around."
(I might have fared better with more lollying and less of the repulsive gagging.)

[Blutime]

" I brought you in to this world, I can sure as h*ll take you out!"
"I'm gonna kill em and tell god they died!"
"Wish in one hand and sh** in the other, then see which gets the fullest"
" If your sad, then just scratch your a** and get glad!"
"More worthless than t*ts on a boar hog!"
"Pretty is as pretty does, and you aint lookin' too pretty right now!"
"I'll give you somethin' to cry about!"
"You can't bullsh** an old bull sh***er!"
I could go on forever. Got to say that the way my parents raised us gave us more backbone than most. The fact that we're still here is testament enough!!
Even with all said, my parents were fair and loving people. Just don't cross them.

[hollygolightly]

"You wanna cry? I'll give you something to cry about!"

[Wisteria]

: "When are you leaving I'll help you pack?" Said by my mother when I was a little kid wanting to run away from home.

Hahahahaha. I remember that. This one kind of goes along with that one, but said by my father:

"Write when you find work!"

[ptsum]

If it ain't broke don't fix it..
I'm busier than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs...

[anifani821]

"IF IF IF . . . here's what I think about IF. If a frog had wings, he wouldn't go round bumping his butt."

"TRY? What is that word TRY? You either DO IT or you DON'T. Ain't no such thing as TRY."

Oh, dear - I just remembered something I said that got me in big trouble at home. I heard one of the older kids say the following in response to another kid getting upset. When I said it at home, I got a spanking, LOL.

"Tough t*tty, said the cat to the kitty . . . but the milk's still good."

Go take a long walk on a short pier.

I never say it myself, but my father's favorite was....

"you better stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about".

LOL

My wife's nanna used to say "Tell your problems to Jesus". Which rings true every time I hear someone whine or I whine about something, and I have said it to people lol.

Every morning my Mom would say, "Up and at em", which I always translated as "Up and Adam", I could never figure out who Adam was, or why she would use his name to wake me up....lol.

Well most of what I heard is covered here.
Dad ALWAYS used to say...
If you haven't got anything good to say; then don't say anything at all.
Then just before the belt hit the target,
"This is going to hurt me more than it does you"...Uhhh like dad are you for real???
"I want reasons! NOT excusses" (seems everything was an excuse as to why I did what I shouldn't of. To this day I haven't found the right "reason").
Do you live in a barn?
You'd better eat everything on that plate...there are children in this world with nothing to eat today.
Tell me the truth the first time and the punishement won't be so bad.
Be big enough to admit when you are wrong and bigger to apologise for it.

I'll try to remember if there is more.
