That are forever etched in you brain?

I have a few:
Don't give me any sass or I'll put some red on that ass
The consequences of your actions
I'm going to see a man about a horse.
Underpromise, overdeliver
The older I get the better I was!
I think I'm wearing a demon's ass as my hat!

grandma: then it was probably a lie...

My Italian grandmother saying..."they can kiss my ass!" Had a tattoo 60 years before it was popular.

Had a softball glove with my last name Welker written on it.

Dad used to say "Welker on the thumb means hustle in the bum".

althom says "fiddlesticks: to Mia

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

"If you cross your eyes they will get stuck that way."

"Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free." (Meant to discourage pre-marital sex)

"Jealousy is a wasted emotion.".....this one I happen to believe is true and have tried to also instill in my step-daughters

I remember hearing this one.

mom would say:

SHIT and carry 7
(guess that took care of her cussing for the week)

SureThing said:

Yup! Mee too.

"Has Satan got a hold of you?"

"Dry it up!" (which was shouted after we got spankings and were left crying)

"You're so smart but you have no common sense"

SnakePeel said:

My parents said 'Shut it off'. I seriously wasn't allowed to cry.

My mother used to tell me that too! "You have all the book smarts in the world, but no common sense."

CarrieMpls said:

I've heard of that before.

Did it mess you up at all.

Sometimes when my son cries, I send him to his room. I don't tell him he CAN'T cry, but I tell him 'Come out, when your ready to stop crying'.

Do you think that is gonna F' him up?

Not ALL the time. Just when he's crying about something stupid and won't stop.

when i was a kid id ask dad for like a dolla or somethin' and he'd say and i quote


"If a frog had a glass ass he'd jump n break it" now dad was from Tuscaloosa so must be a Bama thang


anotha Dad quote " yo eyes may shine yo teeth may grit"


God i miss my dad

CarrieMpls said:

I never got that. Either you're smart or you're not.

My mom said the book smarts thing.

And my Dad used to say something about a bird in your hand is better than 2 birds in the bush.....or something like that.

(climbing up a tree or something.....)

'If you fall and break your legs, don't come running to me'

SureThing said:

i don't think so. i do that to anelia too. i can tell when it's a serious cry or when she's more faking it to get sympathy or to get me to give in. i won't put up with that crap!



i remember my grandma saying "if wishes were horses we'd all take a ride"

and when i did something mean to my sister then apologized she'd always say "if you were really sorry you wouldn't have done it in the first place." i never really understood that one

"If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you?"

"No one is winning, somebody's just ahead" (Good advice actually)

beautifullandb said:

i remember that too! even at that age i was like "mom, if i break my legs i CAN'T run to you. "

I'll give tou something to cry about!

Your ass is grass.

Your face will freeze that way.

Don't you dare ask me that again, or your ass is grass.

(all from my dad )

didn't stop her saying it the next time i bet


The other one I remember, and I was like

'shut your mouth and eat your dinner!' WTF?

My mom's gross. When she got sick of us asking what's for dinner, "Hot spit and booger soup." Her other favorite was, "Tables are for glasses, not asses," if we sat on any of the tables or the countertop (which we apparently did often, because she said the shit all the time).

if I fell and skinned my knee or something, both my grandfather and dad would tell me to "rub some dirt in it, you'll be fine."

wtf? rub dirt in an open wound?
