Did Your Mom Ever Say These To You?
Mother's Day is this Sunday and it makes me think about what it means to be a mom of two. I find myself saying those pointless phrases that many frustrated parents say when the kids are doing things we don't want them to do. I remember hearing several of these from my mom when I was a kid. How about you?
"Momisms"
- Am I talking to a brick wall? (pretty much)
- Beds are NOT made for jumping on. (yes they are!)
- Close the door! You don't live in a barn. (it's too much work to close the door)
- Don't eat that, you'll get worms! (ew!)
- Go play outside! It's a beautiful day! (so what? That doesn't mean there's anything to do out there)
- I didn't ask who put it there, I said "Pick it up!" (Not fair!)
- If it were a snake, it would have bit you. (How did that suddenly get there?)
- Pick that up before somebody trips on it and breaks their neck!
- Are you a monkey? Don't talk with your mouth full! (eeeee, eeeee, yes I am and it's fun!)
- Do you think this is a hotel? (yes, I do)
- Don't cross your eyes or they'll freeze that way. (yikes!)
- Don't use that tone with me! (nah nah!)
- I'm not running a taxi service. (sure you are)
- Now, come back downstairs and go back up WITHOUT stomping your feet! (but I like to, it makes me feel powerful!)
- You're the oldest. You should know better. (I do know better, I'm just trying to see how much I can get away with)
- Sit up straight or your spine will grow crooked! (yeah right Mom)
- Stop Crying or I'll give you something cry about (waaaaaaaahhhh)
- Eat your vegetables! There are starving children in Africa that would do anything to have those. (I don't care how many people are starving, I'm not eating them!)
- Stop fighting you two or else! (or else what?)
What phrases do you remember your mom saying to you? Feel free to share them with us.
