What’s a phrase that your parents used years ago

[themechanic]

When one of us got hurt they said, "Let the dog lick it it'll heal faster".

My mom would always say.
"Don't leave the refrigerator door open forever"

Among other things that come out of her mouth, as a vicious, verbally abusive parent, when i was growing up, in a dysfunctional family upbringing.

As Mom would show us the back of her hand, she would ask "Do you want a fresh one?"

As a pre-teen, When I was being a “skoootch,” my mom would always say “I’ll crown you, Charlie”

I’d retort with “then I’d be king” and run away.

In a related story, my name is NOT Charlie.

In my 20’s I worked for an older guy. When I’d F up, he’d say “ I buy you books, I send you to school, and you still chew the erasers off the pencils”

My dad always said when someone asked how he was doing or feeling:
"If I was any better I'd be twins "
"Happy as if I had my right mind"

If he had some bad fitting underwear :
"These shorts are like a cheap hotel, no ball room"

Mom used to say " when you get married I hope you have two kids just like you"

"Keep that up and I'll turn this Car around"
so did any one's parent's turn the car around?​

They would say,that boy ain't right, and I would be looking behind me to see who they were talking about, and no one was there! Lol

My favorite answer to "how are you doing" is "not worth a **** but thanks for asking"

 

[RTDaddy]

"If you don't behave I'll tan your hide."

Or the Old Man's favorite, "How can Someone who is supposed to be so smart be so dumb?"

Mom used to say " when you get married I hope you have two kids just like you"

My mom said ten kids just like you! Lol

Didn't turn it around, but sure as hell stopped on the side of the road. Then got the thousand yard stare from the old man.

"Behave, Dave". LOL. (this one is for davek, too)

"How many times do I have to tell you? Six."
