Things our Mums said
« on: Jul 20, 2017, 07:25:37 PM »
Someone sent me this list and I can remember so many of them  !

Because I said so
Wait and see
Ask your Dad
No pudding unless you finish your dinner
If someone asked you to jump off a cliff would you ?
I’ve told you a thousand times !
Say pardon not ‘ what ‘
What did your last slave die of ?
You’ll take someone’s eye out with that
It’ll all end in tears
I want, never gets
Close the door, you weren’t born in a barn
Don’t sit that close to the TV you’ll get square eyes
There’s no such word as “can’t”
Who’s she - the cat’s mother ?
Carrots make you see in the dark
If you eat your crusts you’ll get curly hair
Don’t make that face, if the wind changes you’ll stay like that !
Do as I say not as I do

I'll tell your Father when he comes home.
Everything will be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright, its not the end.

"Shut up!"


Strange that no matter which of her four boys she was calling to she'd have to go through the others first.."Pe..Tre..Kevi..Michael!"

Isn't it strange how these sayings became universal Mum speak?

Not really Firenze..You can always hear their mums when little girls are talking to their dolls and/or dogs..Certain phrases echo down the generations I think.

You'll be laughing on the other side of your face in a minute.
