That reminds me of this one.

"Everyone eats an ounce of dirt in there life"

I don't think it messed me all up, but it was kinda messed up. Little girls cry when they're scared or sad. Hell, people cry when they're scared or sad.
I will say, to this day I am uncomfortable expressing emotions (other than fun and happy stuff) around other people. But it's not like I can't, either.

what?

CarrieMpls said:

That's what I said. I think they were trying to get rid of me.

"Go to army"

Stax said:

I think it's one of those grizzly, manly things meant to toughen you up.

Yeah, I always comfort him when its a real cry. But when it's that bratty I'm not getting my way and I'm over tired cry, he has to go to his room.

Don't worry about Shit in life that you have no control of!

Oh, I forgot my favorite. When my dad was good and drunk, he'd be the first to pipe up when somebody asked what time it is. "Half past a monkey's ass and quarter to his balls." Way too descriptive for me.

RipHer2Shreds said:

lol my dad said the same shit...

Oh yeah, whenever i owuld say I'm hungy, I'm cold, I'm bored. Whatever.

My grandfather would go 'I'm Bill, nice to meet ya'.

SureThing said:

Similarly, whenever I said, "I'm thirsty," I got, "I'm Friday. Wanna meet on Saturday for a sundae?" You'd think the bitch would just give me a glass of fucking water.

SureThing said:

My mother would say the same thing. i'd be sitting there like but u just slapped me...wtf

My grandfather used to invent his own words, so either you had to know him or you wouldn't understand what the hell he was talking about. In the end though he had the same word referring to all animals that originally had only meant "rabbit". He would use the same word in singular and plural, mind you. And I think the word also meant "to eat" as well sometimes.

My Dad invented his own words too. I still use them and so do my kids.

Microwave = MicroFish
Beautiful = BeautiMous
Socks = Stocks

They must be disappointed with my Bactine-lovin' ways.

My dad would say:

"I won't put up with this insuboordination!"
"Why don't you go play in the traffic?"

always in good fun and with fondness

When I was little I was in my house watching t.v and my grandmother just started beating me. Im like + the crying. And she goes "This is not for what u did but for what ur about to do". I know I was a little bad b ut DAMN

I think about it now and I feel like going to her house and knocking on her door. When she answers just beat the hell out of her.

Psychologists would just love to analyze the mindframe of a person who would do something like that. I know, it wasn't even that uncommon in the old days but still.

"I'm going to punish you for the things you are going to do", DAMN indeed.

DanceWme said:

sorry but that sounds err how do you say Koo Koo pigeon?

IAintTheOne said:

yeah..it does.
I use to think well maybe she did that because she knew I was bad and would always get into something but...I mean c'mon. Thats over the top

DanceWme said:

yeah no shit dick tracy... holy shit

RipHer2Shreds said:

I am sick of my kids asking me all the time so I tell them "fresh air"

My dad was a real poet

"GODDAMMIT _____ _____!!!" The all purpose instruction

"BITCH!!" (not said to anyone in particular, just in anger)

"SONOFABITCH!!" (again not to anyone in particular)

"SHIT!!"

"shhhhh" when we spoke as a family at the dinner table during his news program.

"je-sus CHRIST!!!"

bitter silence the rest of the time

NDRU said:

sounds sort of like my dad when he wasn't being all fun and fond

My dad's favorite is "JE-SUS-AGE-CHRIST!!!"

Last time, I visited him, every morning at about 8:00am, I was woken up by a foul string of cussing coming from the next room because he couldn't get the heater working. It became my alarm clock.

And when they call out for you for whatever reason, just shout back, "Mama left town on a white horse."

heartbeatocean said:

I think it's a common story for anyone with a dad.

Now his anger seems so impotent, sad, even funny, but I grew up in fear
