Stupid sayings your parents said...

[Lis]

heheheh okay, this is too easy for me cos they had so many...

when asking for money
"What do ya think this is ? Bush week?"
I never quite understood what it meant?

------------------
Even cool people look stupid when they step on prickles.

[Idnew]

Ok I'll bite. Dang so many and so long ago, so I'll just use some of the ones I put on my kids.

Do you see a tree growing outside that has money on it?

Do I look like a taxi cab? (this is when one of their vehicles tears up)

Do you think I look like a locksmith?(this happened so many times I lost count when they locked their keys in their cars, fortunatly after the first time it happened I made them get me keys to their vehicles)

What do you think this is a Diner (when I didn't like what my mother cooked)

If I wanted you to know, I would have told you. (asking too many questions)

Do you think I'm the maid?

What, do you think money grows on trees?

Because I'm the parent, that's why.

(And now, one that I use on my kids...)
You'll eat it, and you'll like it.

[Midnight77]

Oops, forgot this one:

It's none of your beeswax.

[artsmass]

There's always the classic "are you trying to heat the outdoors?"

And my personal favorite, "shut your mouth and eat!"

------------------
"quotes are for people who have nothing original to say" You can quote me on that :Þ~

[Midnight77]

Artsmass, you just reminded me of another one.

"You may have been born in a barn, but I wasn't. Shut the door!"

[Lis]

One of my all-time favourites, as Billy Connolly has pointed out...

"where did you lose it?"
or
"your father will hit the roof when he comes home" (which actually, untill I was a bit older scared the bejesus out of me!)

[Lis]

Oh, BTW....good to have ya artsmass! http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Serendipity]

If you break both your legs, don't come running to me.

[paulgro]

If I told you once, I told you a thousand times...

[~wildangel~]

Nice to have you Smartass! I mean Artsmass!

Anyways my parents would always say "shut the door were you born in a barn?!"
OR (this is from my dad)
"you made your bed now lie in it!"
he also said "you cant have your cake and eat it too!

[Lis]

They use to call me a "ratbag"...anyone have any idea what a ratbag is? Should I be offended???

What, do I look like youre mother?

or

I'm not your slave

[xV35ballx]

Does this look like a maid service?
You have two choices for dinner: take it or leave it.
You'll stay here until you eat everything on your plate. (But mom, my napkin & silverware are on my plate!!)
This isn't Holiday Inn, & your mother doesn't work here. So clean up after yourself.
Way to go Ace!
Goodnight Mary & Joseph!
Just wait until your father gets home!
Were you raised in a barn? Then shut that door!
We don't have the money to heat(or cool, depedning on the season) the outside.
Ok. Let me just go rake under our money tree. Oh wait. We don't HAVE a money tree. So I guess you can't have any.
(Said by my dad to my sis. on a Sat.) You need to be home by 5 (in the afternoon).
You can't date until your 35.
You're grounded for the next 30 years. (It usually lasts 1 week.)
'Cause I said so. That's why.

"because I said so, that's why!!" (that's real good logic there mom/dad, and you're supposed to be the wise ones??) I will never use that on my son...I believe if there's a reason, they should know...if he doesn't like it, well...)
"What are you Jewish? Take your hat off when eating at this table!!" (*picks up plate and moves to the counter*)
*When fighting at dinner* "You can go to your room without dinner, young lady" (great, not only do I get yelled at I can starve too...*uh hem* what's the number for child services??)
"What, is this maid service incorperated?" (well you don't see maid written across my door either do you ma?) or "Do I look like a taxi service to you?" (well, how 'bout I take the car off your hands for you then??...just a thought)
And my all time favorite: "As long as you live under my roof..." (well, you don't give me much choice now do you?)

*lol* an extension on the last.....

"When you have Kids of your own you can let them do whatever you like but whilst you're under my roof..."

usually replied to with

What's for dinner? Wait and See Pie.
I was not put on this earth to wait on you hand, foot and finger.
Don't kill that moth´/fly/mosquito/Daddy longlegs, it might be your grandmother.
And this one is from a French teacher..."That's excellent, but a French person would never say that."

B/c I'm the mom/dad.

How come you always remember to tell your brother/sister to do deal with teh garbage when it's their month, but you never remember to when it's yours?
(Simple answer to this one. It's one thing to yell into the other room that something needs done, another to acctually do it. We're both prone to the "let-me-finish-this-then-I'll-do-it"-and-then-forget-to-do-it syndrome)

[theclarkone]

The ones i hated the most were "Cause I said so" http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif "I'll give you something to cry about" http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/eek.gif and the hollow threat of "I'll turn the car around" http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Enforcer]

*decided to dig up this WAY old Topic just because it was last in line*

Litterly translated from dutch:

It's not a hotel here(when I want to eat outside of the times I get to eat(don't ask))

Just cuz U can live in a pigstike (HOW DO U SPELL THAT?), doesn't mean I have to look at it , now clean your room

Is it so much too ask, just too clean up your own stuff

I'm not Sinterklaas (he's like Santa, only different, but he gets kids gifts too, so it's about when I asked for money)
Phreak would know Sinterklaas

My mom always tells me that she pays the bills and i dont get to take part,Like saying when you pay my bills i lend you a few dollars,.

[Lis]

This one was from my oldest brother "nah, there's no monsters in your cupboard, it's probably just a bat".... http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

My dad's favorite saying is "Whaddaya think this is, the Holiday Inn?" I laugh every time he says it!

[nutmeg]

would you get this for me? (just sit there) ok i'll refraise that. get it NOW! i hate that one. i'm the only one in the house that knows what we do and dont have. first thing when i get home "would you......." i was so tired of it i said "ya know what? you can do it your self! i aint no maid, i aint no cook and i aint no butler so until you start gettin off your lazy butt you can die due to dehidration and starvation! get a life or lose weight!) and i walked out.

Well i sort of see her point Phreak.

"Wait and See" was always the response when I asked what was for tea. It used to drive me mad.

"You treat this place like a hotel" ref to turnin up any time night or day.

"What time do you call this?" (my dad said looking at his watch?! also see above)

"What did your last servant die of?" which i replied "disobedience".

[little_army_babe]

My parents were famous for "don't ever think you're too big that I can't bend you over my knee and spank your a**

[jettmotto]

i still get some of these :D ....
go and get a switch(get the smallest one) or drag in the biggest so pops can't swing it:D

i'm not gonna tell you again..then repeats self :)

this is gonna hurt me more then it hurts you(replied, well if ya wanna really punish me then let me smack you!)

me and my brother would get in trouble they would send us to our room....we shared room, bunkbeds so we still had each other to entertain:D

dad would say live under my roof, live by my rules (mom and dad was divorced)replied, c~ya

didn't finish food theres kids starving over seas (replied send it to them i bet it rots before it gets there)

and i think all time favorite is grandpa sayin when we would go out to eat "we're not leaving till you finish your plate" replied once cos he smacked my mouth fer it "ok, your the one that has to be to work"
