Said by my delightful, sweet Mother on many an occasion when I had incurred her wrath: ''I brought you into this world, and I can TAKE YOU OUT!!!''

LOL Emm, my Mom used to say the same thing! She would also say ''as long as I''m bigger than you'' and ''come here and let me give you something to cry about''.....that would end the tears right away.

The best one was ''you''re grounded til you''re 30''.....I miss my Mom. She passed away last October 4. My Dad passed away on April 17, 2007. I miss him, too.

Lori

Oh, Lori, I used to get that one, too! NOTHING made me stop crying faster than that! LOL!

I''m so sorry you lost your mom and your dad, and so close together too. That has to be hard.

Ooooh, when I read the title of this post two sayings my mom would say frequently came immediately to mind. But after reading everyone else's...well ...they all seem so insightful and somewhat squeaky clean. I think I may hold off. haha...

What a tease! Now you have to share!

Hahaaa...ok fine here's one of the milder ones that my mom used to say to my dad (usually because he had forgotten something from the store )

"You've got the brains of a brass monkey!"

haha..it is pretty darn funny.

" one........ TWO..." That''s it , I was done!!!!!!!!! My parents started counting and I knew.... never even got time out or a spanking. That was scary enough!!!

My dad had a funny one, though kinda gross
If someone said shut up he''d say "shut don''t go up, ketchup does, I spit it up you lick it up" and he''d sing it.

Wishful, my mom''s saying was: "You''re dumber than a box of hammers!" (Or "box of hair" . . . depends what mood she was in I guess!)

I''ve been trying to think of something my dad said, mom always had the quips. But I just remembered one, can''t believe I forgot it, he said it quite often.

"If all else fails, read the directions"

Funny, that applied more than a few times.

''Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.''

That has got to be the best quote ever! I think I''m going to make a big sign and put it over my desk at work. Or better yet, maybe I''ll add it to my signature!

LOL... I already have this posted at my desk. It says, "Your lack of planning does not make it my emergency." Boy, you should see the faces of the people that have emergencies that come running to my desk for stuff... Priceless!!!!

Favorite quote happened when I was about 10 years old. The boys in the community were hanging out with me and a few cousins on our “stoop” in Brooklyn. One boy asks my mom if he could ask me to be his girlfriend and my mom said, in the loudest voice possible:

You don’t even know how to clean your butt yet. When you learn how to clean your butt, then you can be a boyfriend.
