Level 7

I was a handful:
You’re a m.e.s.s. (Mess was the first word I misspelled.)
For Pete’s sake! (I still don’t know who Pete is.)
You cotton picking little clown! (Spanking in the near future.)
Keep it up and I’ll trade you in on a boxing kangaroo!
Just because every kid on the block has one, DOES NOT mean you’re getting one.
No. Or no, we don’t have enough money. (This taught me the difference between needing something and merely wanting it.)
HASSE! Don’t touch! (HASSE is German for hot, for the longest time I though it meant don’t touch)

Good advice.

Thanks! She would typically follow that up with, “return with honor”

Very cliche Mormon statements

"Mother are you speaking to yourself?" I would ask during some moment of disillusionment. "Yes, my son," she would reply, "I sometimes need to hear the voice of an intelligent person."

You need an attitude adjustment......

Lol! Yes. 😀 I'm pretty sure I said this to my kids.

Level 7

Mom had 4 children. She was often overheard advising young people, “When it comes to having children, 1 is enough and 2 is plenty”.

hahaha my mom's version was 'I should have stopped at two.' I was #4!

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Wait till your father gets home.

You'd lose your head if it wasn't attached.

Mom said that too if I lost my wet gloves making snow forts snow men and snowball fights

Lol! I remember this one. ❤

What will people say? What would the neighbors think?

Lol!

It'll all come out in the wash.

I still say this now...

Level 8

Don't give me that look!

My sister 10 years older always used that one on me whenever I would look disbelieving over her religious claims

I was 8 and ring bearer at her wedding carrying a tiny satin pillow she'd made with 2 rings stuck in slots my little sister 5 only tossed 3 rose petals down the aisle out of a hundred in her basket we marched side by side and she kept fiddling with her hoop dress 58 years ago

Level 2

My mom would always say "Hey! Are you even listening to me? Am I talking to myself?"

6

Level 6

"You'd make a better door than a window!"

Whenever I was standing in front of the TV.

Lol! My neighbors' dad used to say this to us when we were kids. 😀

I must have heard that a 100 times or more...

Level 5

'Close your mouth and eat your dinner'

Did you ever ask her, “Well, which do you want me to do?”

Level 8

You’re brothers! What’s wrong with you!?

@fathercat
She also said: “If it wasn’t for me, you’d never talk to one another!”

Level 8

The ol' gray mare ain't what she used to be.
( I think she must have been the age I am now when she started saying that)

6

Level 7

That'll be the day!

You don't know what's good!

When hailing me or one of my two siblings, she always went thru the other two before hitting the right name.

After a satisfying meal, "Me not hungry no more."

Level 7

My mother was an atheist too. Whenever there was a minor crisis she would exclaim "oy jesus!" I guess to offend as many religions as possible, lol.

Level 7

It's a beautiful day, now turn off the t.v. and go outside and play with your friends.

Level 7

A "lady" doesn't drink beer!

Because she does not want to drink beer at the beach. .....she would get sand in her Schlitz

Level 8

"Because I said so."

Because it's CUSTOMARY
