What are some of the silly things that your parents told you while growing up, to make you stop doing or saying something? Which ones do you use or ones that you've made up on your own?

"Don't invite hang out with girls at night, they'll get you in trouble!"

'Don't eat too much [enter name of candy here]! You'll get worms!'

"Heather, stop touching the tip of your nose with your tongue, you do it too many times and your tongue will fall off from over use."

"Heather, you make another mud pie, and coat the dogs with them, and I'll rip your arms off and beat you with the bloody stumps!"

"Heather, there is something under your bed. Go to sleep. I love you... goodnight." At which point, my dad would go downstairs and watch tv for a while, then, sneak into my room, get behind my bed and then SHAKE IT!

Don't try to sneak a peek at Santa Claus on Christmas eve or he will throw coal in you eye(my momma was mean).

One I use on my kids:

"You do that one more time and I will call (Santa or Easter Bunny)!"

if you don't eat your dinner... i'll put more on your plate

if you constantly masturbate to pictures of Lenny Kravitz, people will think you're gay

After trying various techniques to get my kids to eat something and it doesn't work, I will tell them that I will make them sit there until it's gone... even if it takes days. After an hour goes by, and they're still sitting there, they think that I really will keep them there for days and they eat it all up.

'If you put this plastic bag over your head and seal it at the neck, Santa will bring you that bicycle that you've always wanted'

'No, Brian - you walk IN FRONT of oncoming buses to make them stop'

'Lean further over the cliff edge, Brian. We'll take your photo'

My parents traumatised me for life.

JimmyNothing crying
DaddyNothing Stop crying or I'll bloody well give you something to cry about! SMACK!

I never got this, but my folks would always be telling my sister...


'I hope when you grow up you have some kids who are just like you'


That curse WORKS too ...she DID

The most said words of my childhood and i quote"Are ya deaf or just plain stupid". which was often followed by a smack on the head or my ass got beat

My dad: "eat the crusts of your sandwich! It will put hair on your chest"

Me: "hello! I am a girl!!"

I didn't like hearing that one. I'm sorry...

My father used to ask me if my mother had any children that lived.

My dad would tell me that one too. And, there was something about bread and the bedpost, too. I can't remember that one.

A classic:

"I've got eyes in the back of my head!"
