Mama always said " "

[swiftdog2.0]

Let's see, here were a few I heard all the time as a SwiftPup:

"Stop picking on your brother!"

"Turn down that fu**ing guitar!" (that was a popular one with SwiftDad as well)

"Why do you always have to be such a smarta**?"

"What were you thinking?!"

"Don't make me come down there!" (when me and my friends were a little too noisy in the basement family room)

"Stop making so much noise! Your Father is trying to sleep!!" (which made no sense as her yelling was way louder than whatever I was doing.)

"Your sister never gave me this much trouble!"

"I don't care if everyone else's parents said "yes". I said "NO"!"

"I'm your Mother, I'll find out where you've been!" (She never did though. I always had plausible deniability!)

"You're going to go deaf if you keep playing that walkman so loud!" (Which I would respond to her with "What? I can't hear you, my walkman was too loud....")

"Those video games are going to rot your brain!"

"You can't always tell everyone what to do!" Jokes on her! I'm a professional project manager. I make my living telling people what to do

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, have a banana... deh,deh,deh..
here comes me wife, the idle of me life, de-dedede-de, de-dede-de..."

"France was Hungry, took a bit of Turkey, dipped in Greece
Long-legged Italy, kicked poor Sicily
right into the middle of the Mediterranean Sea."

"Don't pull faces, Mark:
because if the wind changes, your face will stay that way."

"Stop it Mark, or you'll go blind!"

"Mom always says, don't play ball in the house"- Some Brady Kid

 

[Grandpa]

"Because I said so."

Whether right or wrong, I never imposed that on my kids.

Your face is going to freeze that way-OR just because so and so's parents have no sense does not mean that I do not.

No it doesn't.

"If I said the moon was green, you'd argue that it was purple." (She was trying to say I was always arguing. Possibly true, but her example confused me. I wanted to argue with it, since the moon is rather lacking in color.)

"Where have you been?" "You did not call!"
"I thought you were laying in a ditch somewhere, calling out my name!"

 

[Flat Matt]

"You're a disappointment to me, son. Now get out of my sight!"

That might have been my dad though... or my granddad... or possibly my grandmother... or my brother... or my teacher. It all kind of merges into one.

If one of my students is back-talking or arguing a lot, I'll say, "Black." The first time a student might say, "Why are you saying that?" I say, "I assumed you'd say white since you want to argue with everything I'm saying." This usually quietens the arguing.
