What your mother used to say
 
Ok sat here eating my breakfast and told spug what my mum used to say and he laughed.

I was eating toast - and left the crusts and mum used to say eat your crusts and your hair will go curly!!! Well i didnt want my hair to go curly and so never eat the crusts!!! Another one was eat your carrots up so then you can see in the dark.

Any more?

Re: What your mother used to say
 
If someone ate a lot of food ,my mum would say I would rather keep you for a week than a fortnight...:)

Gayle 02-10-2007 20:28

Re: What your mother used to say
 
If I stood in front of the Tv my Dad used to say 'you make a better door than a window'.

He also used to say 'do you think we live in a barn' if I didn't shut the door.

I use both of those now myself! :D

What were you thinking of doing when they told you that?

Signing the pledge, and also thinking of stopping smoking?

I went to my mum's for tea yesterday, although I'm loads better, my hand was really shaking badly, so I stuck it in my trouser pocket. Mum said not to do that, as it didn't look 'nice'.:D

Re: What your mother used to say
 
Once when I was pestering my Mum for something she said.

"You can ask me from now till Christmas but you are not getting anything else today!"

Or how about "Stop waving that stick about. You'll have somebody's eye out!"

How often have you seen a kid with an eye on the end of a stick?
