What’s a phrase that your parents used years ago

Look what you have done.....

Here”s one ,when children were becoming unruly, in stores “BEAT THAT CHILD!” followed by hearty laughter.
Grandma SAID to me Go out to the
Willow Tree & Get A Switch I Can BEAT YOU
With …….
IF i didn’t She’d go get a bigger branch to
Beat me with …..

Cuzz I wazzz a little ****…..

Now I’m just bigger & taller ! Haha….

We all live & learn don’t we…..
 
Grandma would make us pick a branch off the fig tree when we were being bad that was the worst you didn't want a thin one that had a whip effect but you didn't want a huge one ether!
God help you if you picked one that was dry and ready to brake if it snapped you had to get a new one!
I grew up just fine
Me too……

Grandma didn’t mess around ….. you either were obedient or Else……

That’s one thing kids lack today !
 
I would ask my Uncle Norm a question, and he always answered the same- “Pig’s Nose”. That was 60 years ago. I recently asked my cousins about this, and they said they have had to put up with it their entire lives.
