MOTHER'S DAY - MOMISMS

Do you remember your Mother saying these?

MOMISMS

Money doesn't grow on trees.

Don't make that face or it will freeze in that position.

If I talked to my mother like you talked to me ......

You have enough dirt behind your ears to grow potatoes!

What if your friend jumped off the cliff?  Would you go too?

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

Because I'm your mother - that's why.

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

I brought you into this world and I can take you OUT !! (My Mom's favorite)

I slave for hours over a hot stove and this is the thanks I get?

It doesn't matter what you accomplish, I'll always be proud of you.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Yes, I AM the boss.

Honestly...You would lose your head if it wasn't screwed on your shoulders.

Bored! How can you be bored?  I was never bored at your age.

If you fall out of that tree and break your leg, don't come running to me.

Don't put that in your mouth, you don't know where it's been.

Wait until you father gets home !!

You just wait until you have kids of your own - then you'll understand.

  10. Good Morning Vickie,

    I think we all said we would never say that when our parents said them to us - but we did.


    Happy Mother's Day,
