What’s a phrase that your parents used years ago

[Dave6T4]

From my Mom (not really) " You hit him for a while, George. My arm's getting tired! "

 

[guy gadbois]

Not just years ago, but until Dad passed way too young. "Boy, that must be your butt talkin cause your head is smarter than that..."

 

[Belvedere408]

My step dad who raised me always said "you're cruisin for a bruisin".

 

[dodgeboy440]

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…..

 

[dodgeboy440]

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 !

"You poor thing Here's some money" They Said.... Never...

 

[khryslerkid]

"I'll bust your butt!" Under my breath I'd say "It's already cracked."

 

[Charles Cook]

My mom could throw a flip flop around a corner and still hit me.

 

[eldubb440]

"Ed Sullivan ruined this country"

 

[Mackman]

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.

 

[BB BELLA]

"Don't get me paged at the hollywood" My dad was Ronald McDonald

 

[3sloppydogs]

Before I would go outside
SHOES ON OR SOCKS OFF!

 

[Sam69sat]

"quit your damn bellyaching"

 

[hemiheadnc]

...Ill beat bumps on your head Boy !!!

 

[Armyvet25]

from Dad...you don't know sh!t from Shinola, never knew what that meant as it was an item from even before I was born, later as a teen, I looked it up, paused for a sec, then laughed my sill a$$ off

 

[Charles Cook]

Boy I’ll beat you like red headed step child. Never understood what that meant.

 

[RT68440]

"I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night." Usually when they caught me in a lie.

 

[Pops1967GTX]

Being told by your Mom not to jump around, or slam stuff while she had a cake in the oven....

 

[Sahara]

Being told by your Mom not to jump around, or slam stuff while she had a cake in the oven....

I haven’t thought of this for more than forty years! Good call, I thought my mom was the only one that did this. And of course it would be our fault if the cake should “fall” for any reason.

1) What the Sam Hill did you do?
What the Sam Hill did you get yourself into?
What the Sam Hill are you going to do with that_____ (fill in the blank)

I never did figure out who Sam Hill was.

2) Get in here, I'm going to wash that mouth out with a bar of soap.
3) Shut the door, we're not heating the outside.
4) Eat your carrots. You'll see better at night.
