When I would ask to do something and my Mom would say no and I would argue that everyone else was going she would answer, "If your friends jumped off a bridge would you jump too" I hated that line>


laugh haven't heard that one in 40 years. Ah...memories...

My mother used to tell us that she was going to "tan our hides", meaning she was going to spank us but good!

When we asked them how old they were they'd tell us "old enough to vote"...

My dad used to say
If you start a fight you will get a whipping when you get home; if someone else starts the fight and you lose, you will get a whipping when you get home.

My grams used to say
You don't want to go outside in the dark, the booger bears will get you.
I had no idea what a booger bear was, but the thought of it scared me enough that I stayed in the house and peeked out the window.

My grandmother on my father's side would always say "jaeatyet?" YOu have to be from Philly to undersatnd-translate Did you eat yet?

My Dad was always yelling, "I'll break your legs" while making a chopping motion with his hands. Funny thing is he never got out of his chair when he was doing this, but I always ran.

When we kids got particularly dirty playing, and Dad
was going to bathe us, he would tell us he would
scrub us with his wire brush....so he would be able to
get us cleaned up.

My Dad always said when I would dump the load of hay or drop the basket of eggs that "I could screw up a train wreck"...

High praise from him was that I was 'smarter danna bird dawg' or 'stronger then sebben acres of hossraddish'
