Stuff your parents used to say

[Rfc4Ever]

"YOU FN LITTLE!!!"

 

[Tommo37]

If I was obstructing the view of the telly....."your a pain, but not a pane of glass"

The other one for this is,

" What do you think you are, made of glass or something "

and it always came with a tone in the voice.

Yep this was the one used in our house.

 

[B1 and B2]

To all and any questions to my dad - "ask your mother"

Think dad worked on the 'happy wife happy life' scenario.

Another one that has just sprung to mind was the old ask both parents the same question in the hope you get the answer you want and remember mum was always the first port of call.

ME: Mum can I have some ice cream ( or whatever it was you wanted )

MUM: No

Now we are in a dilemma, what to do, what to do, oh I know i'll ask dad.

ME: Dad can I have some ice cream.

DAD: What did your mother say and don't fib to me because I'll be asking her later.

ME: Never mind.

Why did these things never work with our parent's, it's because they tell us they tried the same thing with their parent's.

My rule was always if Mum and Dad said no, ask Nanna

I'll turn this around a bit here. My 18 yr old as been saying "you only drink to get drunk".

"Who said that?" I asked.

"You did dad" he replied

"Oh.....did I ......"

 

[Streak]

When I was in trouble I used to get " Now get out of my sight "

I used to get called by my first name.

Mum had a lot of different pet names for me as a kid, but if she called me by my first name, it was batten down the hatches.

TM's response to what's for dinner: Chook *smile* & dirty undies, which may have been a possibility if the cooking was left to him ;D
If I didn't eat all my vegies I was told I'd be getting them for breakfast, thankfully there never was any zucchini mixed in with my wheaties.
Another of TM's faves was whenever we'd go on a walk or bike ride and I fell behind I'd yell out wait for me! and get back in a sing song voice wait for me meee!
Mum used to threaten us with the wooden spoon in Italian. I still have fond memories of her chasing my cousin around the backyard with one :hihi

Going to see a man about a dog.

If you don't stop talking, you'll be sleeping in the shed.

My Dad used to say, when he wanted me to be sensible

" and no playing silly buggers"

 

[Wildride]

In my house it was "You're father's not a glass blower."

For me it was "I know you're a pain/pane but I can't see through you"

 

[AngryAnt]

Son, I am disappoint

 

[Tiger Rob]

I used to get called by my first name.

Mum had a lot of different pet names for me as a kid, but if she called me by my first name, it was batten down the hatches.

For me it was first name and middle name and I know I'm in deep *smile*.

Same with the wife now days.

 

[Tiger Ghost]

Me : Dad wheres mum?

Dad : She went crazy had to shoot her

 

[Streak]

Same with the wife now days.

I'm hearing you on that Rob. I swear the wife and mother have swapped stories on ways to keep me on the straight and narrow.

First my mother did it, now my wife does it.
