Mom-isms!

Do you remember these or find yourself using them now?

A little birdy told me!
Am I talking to a brick wall?
Are you deaf of something?
As long as you live under my roof, you'll do as I say!
Close the door. You don't live in a barn!
Do as I say, not as I do!
Do you think I'm made of money?
Don't make me get up!
Don't run in the house!
Don't sit too close to the Tv, You'll ruin your eyes!
Don't walk away when I'm talking to you!
Enough is enough!
I can't believe you sleep in this pig sty!
I don't care what everybody else is doing, I care what you're doing!
I just want what's best for you!
I'm doing this cfor your own good!
I'm not going to ask you again!
I'm not your waitress!
Who was your slave last year?
Over my dead body!
Say that again & I'll wash your mouth out with soap!
Are you going out dressed like that?
So what if everybody else is doing it, If they all jumped off the Empire State Bldg, Would you?
What did I say the first time?
When you have your own house, then you can make the rules!
Where do you think you're going?
Wipe your feet, were you born in a barn?

Don't forget about using your first AND middle name. Then you knew you were in trouble.
"How many times have I told you?"
"Do you want a spanking?" (of course, say that now, and Social Services will be at your door).

"Always wear clean underwear in case your in an accident"

Hey Mom, if I'm in an accident, they'd need one of those wheel measuring device to measure the skid marks!

"Someday you'll have kids of your own, and then you'll know what it's like!"

I was determined, based on that curse, to never be a parent. So, what happens? I fall in love with and marry a woman with two teenagers! (And, believe me, they were worse than I ever was, not having had Dad around to back up Mom's word. They were walking all over her until I came along and helped her to not give in to them. Of course, this made me the "evil step-father" then, but now that they are adults they thank me for it -- it meant they had the discipline in their lives that they were lacking. And they know they are better people for it than they otherwise would have been.)

Mind you, I've come to love them as much as if they were my own offspring (and as much as they do me), but I still don't want to be a parent -- again.

This will hurt me more that it will you!

I heard that one a few times, ok, a lot of times!

This started out sounding like an old Bill Cosby routine.

This started out sounding like an old Bill Cosby routine.

"I am just SICK!"
"...and tired."
>>THWACK!!!<<


You mean that routine? It's classic!

I recall several momism threats when I was standing outside the reach limits of a switch, "You gotta sleep sometime, Boy" and "You just wait until your Pater gets home, Boy".

Growing up I always thought my first name was 'Corporal'...like in punishment.

When I was in trouble (which was almost always), I was always addressed by my middle and last names..."your in deep shi*, Boy'. And, no, 'Deep' was not the middle name, it was just an introductory term only.

As you may have guessed by now, my last name is 'Boy".
