My mom would always say "It's my way or the highway." and if I left the door open she'd say "What, are we inviting the flies in for a party?" or "Were you born in a barn?"
I also had a Uncle who used to say "May the bird of paradise poop on your shoulder", I'm not sure exactly what he ment but I thought it was funny.

"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.

I like your dad. |

My two favs.
We always said sh*% has a value of 4, since 'sh*% plus two is eight'.
My all time fav is one from grandma. Poppy (grandpa) was driving and at the crossroads trying to make a turn. Poppy wasn't in any hurry and grandma clear speaks "Sh*% or get off the pot!" I now use it all the time.
once I recall more ( go to my source mom ) I will write a few more in. I love and recall many of the others written here already.

mom reminded me of another one from Grandma. Her second husband Pete was also at the cross roads trying to make a turn or get across ( I guess the funnies tend to happen at crossroads for my family).... anyways.... the cars were coming and coming... finally a small window of portunity opens up and you hear this little ole lady yell "Floor it you can Make It!" |

These are so funny....I think we all had the same parents....
The most deadly was when they asked us.......Are you ASKING me or TELLING me?
Or...
This ain't being put up to a vote.
If they asked us if we did something and we answered "yeah, but"
They would carry on about..."What is a yeahbutt? You ever seen a yeahbutt? Is it related to a rabbit?"
You learned not to say that.
