Someone sent me this this morning, I'm only 58, but remember these well! #2, #4, & #7 carried me through my early years! 1 "If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning.” 2 "You better pray that will come out of the carpet.” 3 My father taught me about TIME TRAVEL. I f you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!” 4 My father taught me LOGIC. "Because I said so, that's why.” 5 My mother taught me MORE LOGIC. "If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me.” 6 My mother taught me FORESIGHT. "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident.” 7 My father taught me IRONY. "Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about.” 8 My mother taught me about the science of OSMOSIS. "Shut your mouth and eat your supper.” 9 My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM. "Just you look at that dirt on the back of your neck!” 10. My mother taught me about STAMINA. "You'll sit there until all that spinach is gone.” 11. My mother taught me about WEATHER. "This room of yours looks as if a tornado went through it.” 12. My mother taught me about HYPOCRISY. "If I told you once, I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate!” 13. My father taught me the CIRCLE OF LIFE. "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out." 14. My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION . "Stop acting like your father!” 15. My mother taught me about ENVY. "There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do.” 16.My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION. "Just wait until we get home.” 17. My mother taught me about RECEIVING "You are going to get it from your father when you get home!” 18. My mother taught me MEDICAL SCIENCE. "If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they are going to get stuck that way.” 19. My mother taught me ESP. "Put your sweater on; don't you think I know when you are cold?” 20. My father taught me HUMOR. "When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me.” 21. My mother taught me HOW TO BECOME AN ADULT. "If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up.” 22.My mother taught me GENETICS. "You're just like your father.” 23. My mother taught me about my ROOTS. "Shut that door behind you. Do you think you were born in a barn?” 24. My mother taught me WISDOM "When you get to be my age, you'll understand.” 25. My father taught me about JUSTICE . "One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you!” This should be sent only to the over 60 crowd because the younger ones would not believe we truly were told these "EXACT" words by our parents. |

Must be universal parenting approach. I've heard them all when I was growing up. Said them all to my kids. Now hearing my son tell the grandkid some of it already. Darrel

Made most of my money the Hard way, WORKING FOR IT, so my Mom would set me how to save it. She passed away as I crossed thirty five, sad times for me. |

I don't remember hearing #19 but the rest of those are very familiar and were told multiple times through my childhood.
I'll add one though: my Pawpaw taught me how to pay for lunch. He'd say "you want to go to the chicken house with me?" "Not today Pawpaw" "Do you want to eat lunch?" "Yeah" "then get your ass up and come on! You don't eat for free here!" There are several more, some not so family friendly. We'll save those for another day Edited by thendrix - 27 Oct 2018 at 9:24pm |
